Painting custom parts

Well Guys I have come to the conclustion that I may stop painting my custom parts.

I have just spent about 3 days trying to fill bunches and bunches of orders all painted. It just takes too much time. Time that can be spent making other NEW customs and modifications.

Those of you who have ordered my customs painted in the past. I appriciate the business.

This may be a step in the wrong direction but painting those things sure are a pain. This may kill my e-bay sales but we will see.

For example . I sell a set of Pavehawk M-134's for $60 painted. It takes about 6 -8 hrs to pour and paint a set. I charge $30 for a unpainted set. It takes about an hour to pour a set. I am slammed in some places for the " higher " price on these Pavehawk kits. But working for 8 hrs for $60. This is not moving in the right direction.

I will still offer building my customs for a cost but turn key may be a thing of the past.
