About 5 hours if I did it from start to finish. But it was more like 3 nights. Ya if you know where denair is you must be real close because nobody knows where this little old town is

Thats awsome work. Every time I try to paint something cool like that it looks like I ate a crayon and spit the color on to the body.

I have seriously considered it. But I have no clue what to ask for something like that

If there is enough interest I would do it, and allow people to tell me what they want and what body ect. I think I would probably enjoy it too Maybe one of these days.

Basically you'd have to figure out what your time is worth to you.
Then you'd have to gauge what other people are willing to pay for your time.
Then you'd have to find that happy medium of what people are willing to pay versus what you think your time is worth.

Since you seem to draw satisfaction from creating... you might be willing to do it fairly cheap compared to someone who does it "just to make cash".

Like for instance me... since I'd be using any body I bought on a basher or crawler.... i'm not inclined to pay a ton for a paint job.
But I see your work is quality and I'd personally pay $50 for somethig like that.
Others who have shelf queens may pay more.
Others would think $50 for paint is WAY too much.

So you ask yourself... I have 5 hours in this paint work. That's $10 an hour minus the cost of paint/supplies.
Do you get enough enjoyment out of the creative process to get paid $7 maybe $8 after expenses?

Make people supply there own lids for you to paint... keeps your materials cost low.

Body looks great. Did you use the Skullmaster shields on that?

Have you ever been to the CFX Paintworks website http://www.cfxpaintworks.com/ ? If your interested in selling these I'd check that site out and get their input on potential pricing.
