Just have to be careful thats all.. If they love their car more than anything else they are usually the ones that are trouble.. I had very few problems, we just got sick of dealing with the young mentality around here. They wanted everything done right now.. They could care less that you have 15 cars in front of theirs..
I guess I should of posted something like this up earlier.. When I was bigger into performance work and custom body work we did a ton of advertising on these forums.. It works really well.. But also remember if you have any problems they will go right to the board posting, even if they are wrong.. We did this type of advertising for about 5 years.. I got sick of dealing w/ younger kids and we stopped.. I would say I probably gained somewhere in the neighborhood of 700-800k in sales over those 5 years. If you can deal with those car guys you can make good money..
Gosh you are to cheap! I think you could charge a bit more and still be more than reasonable.. I can tell you that we wouldnt touch that for less than 6-7k. I would think around 3k would be more fair to yourself.. You can always start with a higher price and come down, but its hard to go the other way.. Dont short change yourself..If one day you get a shop people will want you to work for those low prices, and now you have more over head..
Been to NACE and SEMA almost every year for the last 5 years.. Probably going to pass this year.. Not much changes year after year.. SEMA isnt really hard to get into, sign up online for like 15 dollars.. But you have to be a shop owner/employee or you cant get in.. Its not open to the public..
I really dont see the need to have a full blown system personally. I have been spraying water for a bit now and really never even use my 2 stands.. We are painting at most 6 cars a day, and really havent felt that it takes much longer for this stuff to dry vs solvent.. I would save my money personally.. Get a couple sata stands and call it a day.
