  2. Explorer Paint Job

    well.. as i said i dont know too much about paint jobs and such.. the thing that got me was what i have to put in.. which is labor too on my end.. for that much i would honestly expect myself to not be doin any work.. and well.. as i said.. he said lets say for example if i want a "wet" look or a "dry" look.. different prices.. candy colors are more since he has to apply more layers i think he said.. and well if i wanted to go with any other color.. i would be lookin at close to 2k just for labor.. even though i would be doin the sanding too. the only thing i would not do is laying paint.. but sanding..priming,preping.. i would do half of all the work..

    hey guys.. i just wanted to ask a basic paint job question.. i recently talked to this guy about painting my truck and well..i was just checking to see if his price was good or not.. since it sounds like too much for me.. well.. the truck itself is a 93 ford explorer 4 door.. nothing like the new big body ones.. now for the price.. he told me it would be anywhere between 1600(lowest)and up.. depending on any body work that might need to be done.. now this price is just for labor and does not include any material..(paint,tape,paper for windows,sand paper,primer,etc..)or the actual compressor.. those are things that i have to get.. and i also would have to help him with the sanding and prep work..provide him a ride to my house,food and drinks for some stupid reason.. he told me it was a "steal" of a price.. so dont really know what to say.. since i never had a car painted.. also.. he does not work at a shop..so pretty much cant back up his work if for some reason he messes up..

    well i dont want to piss anyone off .. i think whenever people talk about taxes and shit.. they dont look at the big picture. dont even realize that some mexicans(or immigrants in general,not all) pay taxes with fake socials and never get a dime back because they are fake.. my uncles use to do that till they became legal.. on the other hand.. what about all of our own americans that live off the tax money and dont put shit in to the economy..??people that live in the projects in the bronx,they dont work,hustle a lot of drugs and drive way better cars than most of us can afford.. what about all the people in jail(americans) that commit tax fraud worth well over 10 mill. they are not putting anything into the economy so should we send them to a foreign country so they stop being a load on us??. please get educated on the subject of taxes and shit..

    that said.. my parents are mexican .. and are legal citizens.. and i do believe some points of that law are right.. as it will ultimately make our borders safer. i personally had 5 of my uncles kidnapped in mexico not to long ago so thats why i dont support illegal immigration .. since most of the criminals come to the US like that.. i just think this law is right on the edge of racial profiling.. since they are probably goin to be lookin for tan skin,"mexican-looking" people..and not white.. even though there could be "Irish" immigrants...

    ok..so my muffler crackd.. in like 2 different places.. now my truck turns on but after a few minutes shuts off.. ive been told this is common when the air doesnt make it all the way to the exhaust tip... is that true?? 2nd.. for some reason the mechanic told me it needs welding to be replaced or fixed... went and lookd under my truck ..all i see is clamps holding it tight.. ..lastly .. if only clamps hold it together would it be something that can be replaced by me.. with the right tools?... ooh and its a '93 ford explorer

    ok...sorry to chip in but... tooshort did not actually have to get any money aside from the 350 he got from the raffle.. once the raffle ended the sub no longer belonged to him... so any money gotten because of the sub goes to the winner of the sub... in this case 500... it doesnt really matter if the sub is still working or not.. the point is u got the money from fedex... because of the claim.. so that money should be forwarded to the winner of ur raffle.. otherwise ur a scammer no matter how bad or how good the sub still is... ur pretty much gettin paid for the sub twice.. its like selling a car... then having the new owner total it ...and u gettin the insurance money.. so keep ur 350 and send godsmack his 500 claim money...or just give it back to fedex... lmao.. if not i vote :ban: for committing fraud on fedex..

    hey guys.. well ive been debating for the past week or so.. on whether(sp?) or not to get rid of my truck.. i payed close to 2gs for it.. (first mistake) bought it from my uncle.. and well i didnt inspect anything(2nd mistake) well.. now am stuck driving my dads car.. and having my truck sit in our drive way.. ive put together a decent system on it..which ofcourse would get pulled out.. and well there is to many things going wrong with it.. battery is dead.. radiator took a shit.. windows are electronic but dont work.. windshield was cracked since day 1..steering wheel is to loose.. among a couple of other things.. since repairing so far is goin to cost me atleast half of wat i payed for it.. my dad has got me to think about trading it in .. and buyin a better car.. (something i can afford)now what do you guys think i should do.. keep investing in my truck..and hope for the best.. or trade it in and then put what ever fits from my system in the new car.. which will actually be driveable..
