My ERA visit

[xracerbob]

Nice pic's! Mine is in the sea of cars (dark Maroon, no stripes). As for painter, don't overlook Ron Randall at Metalmorphous. Fred's car and my car were painted by him. Outstanding work and he now has some experience with the new body and makes a couple minor tweeks that are really nice when prepping the body for paint. He also bronzed Peter's sons first pair of racing shoes.

I agree with Bob - you should definetly talk with Ron Randall about painting your car. He does really nice work and he is a great guy to work with.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

patrickt - another tough decision to make!

zoera-sc7xx - there were several cars there that were painted by Tony, and they really did look good. Peter thought that for what I wanted, he would be a good choice, so I am leaning towards him.

xracerbob & Fred - is he the guy that also does the metalizing? I did plan to speak to him.

One of the things I did while at ERA was to look at the paint finish on each of the cars. All were great. Peter was also nice enough to let me know who the painter was for each. After looking at them, I would think that unless one is looking for a special scheme that maybe one painter excels at, one really isn't making a mistake with any of them.

Yes, Ron does the metalizing. The attached is an example of his work:

That's pretty wild, especially on the new car with all the aluminum panels.

Fred,

I assume that he gets the hood after it's painted? Then he returns it to ERA? Did you do this thru ERA, or thru him? Looks pretty good to me.

Ray,

Ron also painted my car and did the finish under the hood and trunk lid. Ron can add this to an existing hood if your car is already painted. If not, you should consider talking with Ron. He does really nice work. Here's a few more pictires of the paint work that he did on my car. Ron does the best work I've seen anywhere.

I called Ron on Friday and left a message. Hope to talk to him about my car early next week.

I guess in a way, I'm lucky about the wait at ERA as it gives me a full chance to check out things like this.

How long does he take to paint cars? Not that I want to rush him, I'm just curious.
