edit... and other than cf what do you have maybe brushed aluminum buy chance please please please!!!
All right time to concur up your old math skills. The cost is appx .50 per sq inch. You cannot deduct "holes". For example when figuring the console think about the shift indicator surround. It is just basically a ring, but you have to look at it as a solid piece. Anything less than 60 Sq inches will be considered as 60. There is a lot of prep and the material can not be cut out and used again.
The process covers just about any surface, any shape. We can do wood grains and although I only list black, silver, red and blue for the CF...well we can do just about any color you want. If it is a color we have to match and we don't have it on hand, we would have to charge whatever it costs to get that base color. My techs have been doing this and other custom work for years.
If you have been checking out the modder mags (look at Modified Luxury Exotics magazine) you will see some color matching of components in the car to the color outside. Can we do that, you bet. The finish is auto grade with a clearcoat finish. I posted in another thread, you can get anything you want, if you want to pay for it!
I got involved with all this as a result of my passion for cars and the Crossfire in particular. I want to do what I can to share this vision with the other forum members. To plagiarize a famous politician, "...others see things as they are and ask why. I see things as they could be and ask, why not."
