When I heard that price for 2500 I thought you were out of your mind by under-charging. Im from DC and 2500 for what you did just gets you single stage at maco. But you good people for doing what you do knowing you could make way more money. You got a good heart bro.
true but its really about the QUALITY MOSTLY OVERALL. you do quality work, you can charge what you want almost cause everyone else does half ass work. I charge double what he's charging and do the same thing at my house, mostly do bikes tho. People come to me because I sweat the details
@@cliffordtyler4747 selfish has nothing to do with it. The time he takes to take everything off mask everything up and his craft is worth more then what he's charging
Man you seem like an all around awesome person i cant imagine all the hard work youve put in over the years and all of the people youve helped out tremendously but i can tell you it doesnt go unnoticed so thank you for all of the content and i look forward to seeing much more for years to come .stay blessed and stay humble
Came up on my feed. Sir, you're a gentleman & an artist. Anyone who can't see you have a good honest heart isn't worth doing business with. Much respect👍🙏
For the work you do, you could charge 4K and up 2500 under you had me speechless but what comes to mind for some people cheaper paint jobs think come out shitty but you man, comes out spotless and you care keep up the work big dawg
You have given away alot of your hard work in the past. I know from research how many hours go into prep and bodywork. Not to mention every bit of material used is hazardous to work with. I plan on doing what you're doing once i get my shop setup along with detailing/ceramic coatings. Watching your videos definitely gives me insight. Let the cheapskates go to Maaco. Make that $$$ man. You deserve it.
I can relate to everything your saying, Justin. I run my business like you do too. There is a lot of satisfaction that comes from being a blessing to your customers. We gotta charge enough to stay in business tho if we gonna keep putting our art and blessings into the world.
bro...do yourself a favor. Move to a nicer upscale community, setup a little tidy shop and you can charge 2,3,4 times as much. You hang around the 1200 dollar customers your mentioning and that's where your going to stay. Not bashing at all just trying to help from one business owner to another.
Is not about the money, but the passion. Typical business man, that wants more and more and more. Until the point they become selfish and only worry about taking care of themselves. Don’t listen to this typical business individual, if you are happy where you at, then stay there.
@@soldado23 He doesn't sound super happy about busting his ass & not making much $ for it. The video was made to talk about customers not wanting to pay anything for his work/time/talent.
@@jaybeezi that’s how people are. Even when you are located in area where you can charge more money, people still picky. The way to balance it: Do the job right always, no matter what. People will talk about you and you will get more customers!!
This man passionate about his craftsmanship. He is not so worried about up charge, sometimes up charge brings more headaches than profits in the long run. He’s making it work for him and that’s what’s important.
I'm was thinking the exact same thing! I will just come drop it off and go visit some family in Alabama for a week then drive back to Michigan with my paint popping!
@@andrewwilliams7643 Mr. Williams..if you do decide to do that, is it a truck or car and what color would you have it painted. I'm asking because I'm in Detroit to and wish I could do the same thing.
Man I used to work in a paint shop but my homeboy would show me how to do everything but spray but I watched him so much till I got good with spray paint and that was 12 years ago and I have been painting houses on the side for my mom and my family members and my neighbors and now I'm bout to go ahead and try painting my own cars i got three to practice with and you my guy are a blessing to me and im going to class every time you drop a video
Beautiful work, can’t wait to buy myself a really nice hot rod project in the next year or two. I’m gonna bring it down from NC & have Justin paint it.
@@lawrencechaplin6983 honestly I do think 2500 for a nice paint job is cheap. Over 400 for a good gallon kit of clear right at 400 for a good gallon of primer. The last qt of base coat I bought was 76.00 and that wasnt top shelf base.
I had the same problem with tattooing! Walk up with a pair of Jordan’s $200+ wanting a $30 sleeve 😂 and the first time you do a big nice piece for the low, just to get your name and quality out there for people to see, they ALL want the discount! I get to where I tell them “I stead of me giving g you a cheap deal, how about you pay regular price and I put in 100% quality!” You ain’t paying for product, you’re paying for my attention to detail! You got short money? I got a short attention span! 💯 keep up the great work! And keep the price up! If they WANT IT, they will pay it! Remember they came to you, you didn’t come to them!
Imma be toooooo honest you not charging enough fam! I watch the paint that come out your spot and you short changing yourself big time. I’m trying to get my painting game up to your level. Keep preaching bro..... charge more!!!!!!!!
Crazy as hell your absolutely 💯 but the messed up thing if a person that doesn't look like us say a way higher price there is no problem you shouldn't have ever had to paint cars for 300 or 400 bro hands down your a 7,500 and up painter show quality!!!
Man you had me rolling when you was rolling on the ground....man you made some business for yourself when did all those cheap prices...that put a lot of eyes on your work...
Stumbled across your page. Man you are a real dude man. You keeping so real all you can do is respect your hustle. Salute my guy. Im going to subscribe to your channel. Dueces
You funny man! Especially the part about the $1200 customers. I betchu it's a lot of us watching your videos and wondering if we got relatives in your hometown that kick it with you daily so we can get a vehicle painted for a hook up price. Lol.
Gritt been blessing folks with them cold paint jobs and prices...if he was closer shiiit I'd have em spray all my cars keep doing ya thang fam and I'ma keep following ya work
Alot of ppl would tell you to go to a different location or state and try to get your worth.I say if you're happy where you're at and ppl are paying you without much hassle, do what makes you happy.My only advice is get ALL your money up front and stay honest.Your work is your business card.I wish you much success in life.
Don’t be surprise when women act that way they’re just very happy with life. She seems smart successful and classy. So I’m not surprised she’s easy going
I love how you do things right the first time man. There is nothing worse for a painter then someone else's bad body work. Especially when you don't know where the body work was done. I have finally come to the realization that I will never let anyone prime and block a car for me. I don't trust that anyone will do it right. Your shit always looks so damn good when you are done buffing! I really wish I worked in a shop with you man. I feel like we could learn allot from eachother.
This guy's paint is really on point. $2500 for a paint job is not bad I guess depending on how much you value your car. What I convert the dollar to my currency it's more than quarter a year salary of the average person. I'm pretty sure his work is better than that $50k shop price and that $5-$10k wrap that lasts 3 years. Wish he was this side of the world.
You the truth big man I couldn't paint for those prices I'm at the least 4k you put out damn good work you gonna need to inflate your rates all them cars you should have a good customer base by now
I feel you on that with the paint prices bro . these crazy people won't that with panel replacement and floor done it's crazy I feel you and come in the middle off the project and won't the money back all they money back 🙄 lol crazy as 💩.
Nice work .....changing way to cheap.....i do collision work and paint and would not do cheap paint jobs to much work and you are right the cheaper ppl pay the more they would look for any issues
Glad I found ur channel. Been tryna get my Burban sprayed & been debating on whether to do it before or after takin a trip iv been planning & it happens to be in Alabama so you Definitely been added to the trip & Hopefully.a chance for u to Spray the Burb while I'm down there! Can't Wait!!! This West TX boy Will be seeing you soon!
BRUH you aint lying and sounds like a straight up dude. I got a business of my own, learned a long time ago the worst customers is the one you give cheap prices to. Beautiful work. checking to see how far Abbeville is from AUBURN Alabama. I have a straight no rust carbed Ls swapped c10 painted no flip flop just pearl but a fade is tempting
True grit you went into military mode with roll on the ground 1200 they better ask someone about your work. Keep grinding that ish wld be 5000 and up anywhere else
I get so overheated when bad spirited people complain about good hard work that I don't want they're money or business anymore! U don't owe me nothing but distance.
I live in HTown aka Houston and wish you was close . Mis people like you that know what they are doing without trying to drain every dime out of you. I use to have a guy when I lived in Mississippi. You doing it right though 💯💯💯💯💯👍
Bruh, your price is your price!! Your time is also valuable!! We as black people gotta stop going to black business owners asking for the "hook up" or "come on brotha, you know how the struggle is"....yes I know how the struggle is cause I'm living it!!! We never go to "the man" and haggle over their prices, so stop doing it to our own people! This don't just apply to painters, it's all black businesses! Support your black business owners without all that extra nonsense, cause when you REALLY down they gonna be the ones to help you through!! RESPECT!!
