So, I brought my genny to this paint shop I use to go to with my Eclipse (They're like a body/paint shop)...anyway...I bring em outside to the car and ask, "What would it cost to get the inside housing of the headlights painted black?"
first response: Naw we can't do that, you can't get those headlights apart.
Me: Well I've seen guys do it....
Him: I don't even think we can paint that chrome, *screams to other guy* Can we even paint the chrome in the headlight?
Other guy: I mean if you can get it out I'll paint it up for you...not sure how well it'll stick though...
Him: How do you even plan on getting the headlight apart?
Me: Heat...comes right off I hear...
Him: Well I haven't seen anything like that in...about 20 years i've been working here, but there's a first for everything I guess....
Them: Yeah we'll paint it, shouldn't be anymore then 100 bucks for both of em if you get it apart...we ain't touchin em though, you can take them apart.
Me: ....yeah...ok thanks. *walks away*
(Oh and I forgot to mention that they were telling me I should just drop the money for brand new headlights instead of painting)
Awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
God damnit I wish I had an awesome Performance shop here in YORK PA that would welcome me with open arms and say something like "Hell yeah, I mean I haven't done it before, but we can sure as hell try!"
>.<
All of you near performance shops / being sponsored. I Envy YOU.
