I have a bid in on ebay now but I think I'm going against a guy that really wants the one I want, has one more day to go, if I lose, I would be interested in an aluminum factory 427-454
67-70 intake.

such a same to use all spi and put sikkens base on it!! *ahem barry* would have loved some spi black base or ss!!!
 
You me and everyone has been bugging the shit out of him to bring back the black base and he hasnt budged yet.. I only wish he had just stayed with the black like it was originally before all the other colors came.. I have half a gallon I try not to use.. Guess its like my reserve crack ;:)

Oh yeah. Car looks beautiful bro. Beautiful!!
 
wellllllll maybe it's time for bubbaearl and cooter to take a bus ride. cooter just loves riding the bus. 12 pack of bud and some pork skins and they are ready to roll.

Jeremy,
That's just plain beautiful. If Barry won't do base or single stage, how about a black clear? We're beggin' here! Puttin' SPI clear over another supplier's black is like polishing a turd.
 
LOL!!

i wasn't using spi when there were bases available.....cant really figure out why barry quit...i thought there was a thread in the old forum on it but cant remember. atleast some black!!!!!!!! i've already decided, anything that goes red that doesn't have to be a factory color.....will be spi red. cant wait to get my dart ready for it.
 
barry is harder to please than a fat gal with an attitude. he just wasn't happy with the black. my guess when he comes up with a formula he likes he will bring it back................. or maybe when bubbaearl and cooter convince him. .\/.

I am thinking we need to pool our pennies and buy bubbaearl and cooter a couple bus tickets . . . . . .
 
Jeremy,

Hope you don't mind but I just made this photo my desktop background. Might motivate me to get paint on my Vette.

SOF - just sold my condo and should have some pennies to donate after the closing. If not pennies, a couple of extra 12-packs -- that's a long bus ride.

If I remember right, it was an issue with the fact that he could not control who bought the bases. There were so many people buying them that didn't know how to paint. They would not read directions and would screw things up. They then wanted to blame the product for their issues. Barry, being the great guy that he is, would always spend so much time teaching them what they did wrong, and then supply them with the materials to do the job right. Anyone that bought some of his base knows that the prices were crazy anyway. A gallon of red base for about $175 or so was just NUTS! Hell..... I paid that much for a quart of Jeff Gordon's stuff! He could not have been making much on the stuff as it was, and to then give it away because of someone else's screw up, he had to be loosing money that way. Let's face it, SPI is a business, and they have to make money to be worth while. He cannot continue with a product that looses money, and takes up so much of his time.

I miss the bases too. They were great products to shoot, and if I had a job that screwed up, like happened 2 times on me, I could buy another gallon and go on. It didn't break the bank like it will if I screw up one now. All materials are getting too high for me anymore.

which is why i think its the perfect time to bring the colors back!! prices arent going down...gonna keep going up. prices are up, service is down. like the local ppg guy told me, you cant have both...LOL!

maybe do a limited time 6 month run of bases?!

oh and thanks for the comments guys.....especially you shine, i know you say barry is harder to please than a fat gal with an attitude...but i think you are right up there with him!! lol.
 
i'm a grouchy old fart and have run off more painters than carter has liver pills. but i admire talent and effort. it takes both to pull it off. i closed my shop because it seemed like every painter i hired wanted to 80% it. just did not have the desire and drive to be better . one thing you will learn is the better you get the more shots you will take . the more they talk trash about you the better you must be. you have the desire and the god given talent which just cant be learned. you will do good my friend.
