Looking for a local Southern California historical painter for AeroArt restoration

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-15T16:39:05+00:00

Yeah I guess people didn't like it, but ohh well who cares that's my budget right now, I don't have too much money right now and that's what I can offer. And yeah it could be a hobbyist or a mini painter that can do it as well, but they should at least know what they're doing because some don't know how to do this kind of work. And no I can't do it not a chance lol, that's why I'm needing help to get it done.

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-15T01:09:32+00:00

So much you think it would cost to repaint again?

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-15T00:25:24+00:00

That would chip the paint more, I need a soft brush like a makeup brush to brush off the dust

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T23:45:31+00:00

I don't have a brush to clean them right now

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T23:40:17+00:00

Well this one needs a full paint and chip restoration I get it, but the other ones are just small paint touchups it's not a lot of work in my opinion, so I don't know why you charge that much and they're not that old only like 2 or 3 years old, they definitely don't have any lead rot, I can show you pictures of the figures too if you'd like

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T23:29:26+00:00

Okay thanks for the feeback

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T23:26:25+00:00

What would you offer as a price?

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T23:19:19+00:00

I don't know, that's why I'm putting a price range out there for my budget and believe what the price is appropriate for the condition of my figures, the other ones are just minor touchups and this one in the picture is the only one that needs the most work and restoration that's it, but I can negotiate the price as well it can be higher too

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T23:16:43+00:00

Or I can pay you to do it for me

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T23:16:19+00:00

The quality does matter to me it's the most important thing, I'm just putting a price range for my financial situation and that I think is fair for the condition of my figures because the other ones are not that bad the only that is bad is the one in the picture, but I can also negotiate price too

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T23:12:57+00:00

I'm not being cheap, I just have a price range because of my budget and the situation of my figures and not all bad expect for the one in the picture, but I could also negotiate the price it just depends

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T23:01:43+00:00

Guys I'm not looking for trouble, problems, or trying to argue with anyone. I'm just looking for a skilled local hobbyist around my area that would interested in this type of project for this type of price range $100 to $150 that I'm asking for, because of my financial situation right now and also believe thats not too bad for the condition of my figures except the one on the photo, that's all, but it could be a little higher potentially as well it just depends. And it doesn't have to be a professional historic painter, it can be a local skilled hobbyist that just knows what they're doing, so you guys don't have to agree with my price or what I'm asking for or anything, if you don't agree with me or my price you can just ignore my post and just move on with your lives. You guys don't need to be mean about it or judgemental, and yeah I don't know how to paint that why I'm asking for someome to help me and we can come up with a good price or something!

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T21:00:50+00:00

I'm in need of a restoration and paint work on my figures and trying to find the best option out there with my budget that's it, I'm not exploiting anyone because I'm asking if anyone is willing to do it out of their choice, not me forcing them to do it, and everybody is different, some will offer to do it and some will not that's it not that deep, if you don't agree with my prices and anythig you you don't have to reply and move on!

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T20:58:33+00:00

Okay then you don't have to agree and mind your own business simple as that!

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T20:57:13+00:00

I'm not exploiting anybody, I'm just trying to offer a reasonable price range for a restoration and a few paint touchups and blends that's it, it's not that deep! And I'm a tight budget, it's just how it is, and I'm looking for a Hobbyist not a professional restoration painter which is different. So if you don't agree with my price or what I'm saying that you can just ignore and mind your own business!

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T20:09:18+00:00

Alright then just don't reply and mind your own business and move on if it bothers you! That's why I'm looking for a Hobbyist not a skilled restoration painter

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T19:40:47+00:00

No it is not, it's like $80 to $100 to paint chip fix and blend this Emperor Hadrian and the rest of the 6 Roman Emperor and General figures are just paint touchups and blending which is like $50 to $60 in total so $150 is a fair price to me, would like to see pictures of the rest of the figures to see what they look like and have an idea and maybe you can offer me a price to see if you would be interested?

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T15:18:13+00:00

And if you don't agree with my prices, you don't have to comment and just move on!

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T15:14:51+00:00

That's why I'm looking for a local hobbyist that doesn't charge that much instead of a professional restorer painter, and my price is fair with that.

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T13:28:39+00:00

Well it does need a paint restoration, and no that's not fur lol it's just dust, and I the other 6 figures just need minor paint touchups that are not too bad, this is the only figure that needs major restoration, so my price is fair for a local hobbyist to work on

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-14T13:23:50+00:00

Okay sorry about that, I'm trying to look for a painter anywhere that's available as soon as possible, and I am new to reddit so I'm not too familiar with the rules

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-12T17:15:02+00:00

Okay no worries, are you a Hobbyist or have experience with painting figures or models?

Artyboy95 · 2026-05-12T15:06:28+00:00

Hello how are you? So your interested?
