hey guys! anyone know of a good paint company in the U.S. that does good neon or swirl jobs?

my next Warmoth build will get a finish like this.

i think the Sims Custom Shop has some awesome finishes. they might be a bit more expensive than a warmoth finish, adding in shipping to them and whatnot (i don't know this for a fact, just a guess) but their green chameleon finish is almost cool enough for twice the price. i was very very close to buying an ibanez RG style body in that color. definitely check them out

but now that i'm thinking about it, i'm not so sure they're in the US. might be worth checking into anyway. here's a link http://www.simscustom.com/html/sprayshop.htm

and the guy who runs the shop is actually on this forum somewhere, you could track him down and shoot him a PM or something i'm sure

Sims is in Tennessee, if I spelled that properly. If I didn't, then he's in a state spelled very close to that.

He's pretty well priced for what you get, if you check out any of his custom jobs he's posted or on the website. He's doing my P-bass for me and it came out to $260 + return shipping for an orange pearl job.

it seems there are two dif sims custom shops.

SimScustom and Simscustomshop


Knucklehead: I think I will contact him and get a quote on a swirl finish for a soloist body. did he get back to you pretty fast?

You could always see if Tonar is up for it as well.

Does Tonar do swirls?????

 

[blue313]

Never hurts to ask.  I haven't seen the man produce anything less than stellar, but he's not cheap.

I sent him a mssg.

sims is 345 for a swirl not including shipping so I guess I will just shop around a bit!

Simscustomshop has been fantastic so far, responds so quickly I almost think the guy is sitting at his inbox mashing F5.

I tried Tonar first, but he apparently can't do pearl paint jobs. I guess there's powder involved or something that makes them different. Tonar was my backup though for a non-pearl job if I couldn't find anyone to do it.

I knew a dancer in Vegas that did neon swirl jobs.  But that doesn't help your situation.

I would go with Sims for a finish like that and it is a good price (IMO) for the swirl finish.    I’m really the vintage lacquer guy so I’m not right for this project.
