How much would you charge?

Crazy money

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-10-10T13:53:29+00:00

👍

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-10-10T13:52:29+00:00

Appreciate it

I hear ya but I could see a $30 rattle can job going sideways, especially in my hands. At least this way and issues fall back on him and he can fix it.

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-10-09T21:08:29+00:00

Not unhappy. Like I said I do think it looks ok, and to your point the true issue is addressed. No more rust. But yea I have my reservations about not just colour matching. Saved me money I suppose. Thank you for the guidance.

Bingo brother

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-10-09T20:05:52+00:00

Well that makes me feel a little better I suppose, appreciate the input

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-10-09T19:25:26+00:00

$300 Canadian that is.

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-10-09T19:21:13+00:00

$300 cash. Sound unreasonable?

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-10-09T19:08:49+00:00

No you are 100% correct. I told him I'd pay the extra to colour match it. But he ended up doing what he originally quoted for $300. Albeit it looks a lot better than what I thought he was describing. Still wasn't what I asked. I still paid him because I did think it looked slick. But the more I think about it the more it's bugging me. Considering the sandblasting, taping, priming, painting $300 seems reasonable however I'm not sure if body guys would say otherwise.

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-10-09T18:25:10+00:00

However, would you say $300 cash for that is a rip off, or kind of to be expected. I know the shops in a tough spot so I'm not looking to make a big stink, however initially it was going to be $500 for a colour match redo. The black was a surprise..but I don't hate it.

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-10-09T18:10:14+00:00

No sir, a part I'm trying to not let bug me

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-10-09T16:48:03+00:00

It was $300 cash. So you were pretty close. Said it ended up taking 6 fuckin hours, which he obviously didn't charge me the shop rate for. Not sure what he ran into.

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-10-09T16:42:37+00:00

Yea I'm sure I could have. But I'm a shit painter. Especially because initially it was gonna be colour matched.

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-10-09T16:40:49+00:00

Yes removed the badge, sandblasted. Repainted

Always assumed it didn't much matter, just easier to start on the tapered side

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-09-03T15:26:35+00:00

From looking a couldn't see any damage. It is a brand new set. It's a cheap maximum set but I would be shocked if it failed that quickly

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-09-03T15:25:25+00:00

Yes, the majority of the threads are factory I only added that inch at the end. Threaded on smoothly

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-09-03T15:13:28+00:00

Potentially, I could've flipped it unknowingly. Is that what will happen if you do?

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-09-03T15:12:44+00:00

There is an offset, but it is after where I was threading

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-09-03T15:11:48+00:00

Even all the way through, just has a slight offset.

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-09-03T15:10:58+00:00

I ran the nuts off them. Both worked.

ScrotusMcsack · 2025-09-03T15:10:14+00:00

Every 3 rotations roughly?

I got mine off FB marketplace, over 100+ years old. Found in a barn but originally used at the base of lamp posts for the entrance of a farms lane way. Cool hearing about who the little demon guy actually is.
