New paint for 2007 anyone ?

[Nick Goodall]

Love the intercooler he's painted lol - looks really good!

[telboy]

TBH its cheaper to get 3 shells done by Luck than it is by any of the UK pro`s

???

eh? How much did it cost you in total for 3 shells plus shipping then?
I need to know, 'cos I'm obviously not charging enough! PM me if you don't want people to know.

everyone I know thats had shells off him have payed about £50 a shell?

Plus I've not got a 4 month waiting list.

the photos just dont seem to do the bodies justice, when i first got them i just admired them

Im still very proud of them and know each one is a work of art that only a very small group of people can do

[jimmy]

nice lines, is he cutting those pin stripes on the flames on the shell ?

[telboy]

Apparently he does yes, not that saying he's not any good because he is, he's incredibly accurate and I'm working on getting up to his standards (not far off now!) but surely its no more expensive to get them over here. I don't charge a great deal for the shells I do so i wouldn't think theres much in it.

[Lee]

Yeah i heard you were back on the solvents Tel

I got 3 shells done and shipping included its about £150, the exchange rate is good right now

Plus it is something very different and yes the pinstripes are all hand cut you can see on one or two of the lines where the knife has stopped.

£150 :-O

[Body Paint]

i'd happily go and drink lots of beer for that

[jimmy]

looking at the RRCI magazine this lunchtime in the local newsys and looks like Tel is already gone pro ?

[tc2k]

I thought you'd quit spraying tel?

How much do you charge a shell like?

I always find a couple of AA batteries give a good enough charge

I could do three shells with that design for less than that, put it that way.

Yes Jimmy I've had to, due to losing my job I need to make some money now and this is the only other thing that i do other than the design work.

I did put the airbrush away for a few months whilst i was working because painting shells and working didn't leave me much time for family etc. but now i can do the shells in the day time.

[jimmy]

agh, sorry to hear that mate, I have been made redundant three times over the last few years - games industry isn't the most stable thing ever! But to be honest, if it happened again then I'd do what you're doing and see what happened. Not painting shells, but doing my own thing I mean.

£150 isnt that not far of a new team B4? I no the shell is awesome but
I hope you dont crash very often!! LMAO

[telboy]

Hey jimmy you should just go into photography matey, why don't you set up a little shop on here selling your photo's?

Its the first time I've lost a job in 16yrs! so I'm not used to it. lol
it does feel good not to have to get up early for work though, and just work from home.

[PaulRotheram]

Always told him to set sumat up, and i'd be more than willing to help as always.

[ashleyb4]

150

i could get 5 shells sprayed to a high standard for that.

Good luck with the shells mate. I may well be contacting you soon about getting one for my car.
Jimmy, have you thought about selling some of your pictures through the site? If I saw my RC10 looking as good as most of them do in your shots, i would pay to get a print of it. You could do 8x10s right up to poster prints! Maybe do a bit of freelance stuff for RRCI or Racer or even do your own Bi-monthly review mag. Just a few ideas.
