uhm im not sure bout the price. i was thinking of somewhere between 60 to 70, dont know if thats too high. and i can do them any colour as long as i have the paint lol. for that one i used high heat paint. i was thinking of doing different prices for different jobs. like 60 for just paint, 70 for paint and clearcoat. and different prices for different things like coloured letters or polished. what do you guys think would be a good price?

Looks good....I hope you pla on baking those after there painted.
Otherwise that high temp paint will peel off in a week under your hood. Just some food for thought.

yeaa theyre going to be baked. one question for you guys who would buy them...what are the most popular colours i was guessing red, blue, and black, no? give me some ideas of colours and ill do them.

Midori

the big problem you ll face is colour selection as high heat temp paint only comes in select colours which will limit customization someone correct me if im wrong

I'd have red, or black...

Ragnar

I'd buy black.

Devan

How about metallic/pearl blue?

Adair

Yes Markus, but that's only while your hair is that colour...go more neutral, lol.

Ryan, great idea for a business.
Hope it works out well for you.

Polkaroo Killa

Red.

Red is a seemingly popular choice.
