    Paintwork in Christchurch

    So ive been here for a few months and not having much luck finding work. Need to earn a bit of beer money to keep the blood from my alcohol stream,back at home i used to some paintwork for people. What im wandering is is there a call for the same sort of thing here. I taught myself and would not be trying to compete with pro shops or prices. Just fair money for a nice job.

    perhaps you should tell us all what kind of prices you would charge for the work, and put up a big pile of photos of stuff youve done, maybe a bit of before and after?

    Hello Tim
    Much as id like the work at the moment my intention was more to gauge interest. Although i agree that some form of price idea would have been handy. My only yard stick is what i charged at home which would work out at $400 plus paint (only top coat as i tend to swallow the cost of sundries,primer etc) for a straight tank. As ever with paint the price is gonna reflect the amount of prep involved.
    Before and afters attatched

    And this is mine. Stripped to a bare frame and frame and cycle parts painted in 2K black. Tank and guards are the correct candy pacific blue and Alaskan white lined with gold.
    Hope this helps
