Just another example of the spectacular work that Ryan does....

The previous owner of my car had hit a curb on his way to pick me up at the airport... it wasn't real noticeable except when washing/waxing/etc since with some touch-up paint, you couldn't really tell... but the paint was cracked in several spots... not to mention, a big-rig had lost a tire infront of the prev. owner and it smacked the very lower lip, removing a couple nice chunks of paint that i had to touch up..... since it wasn't very obvious, i drove the car like this for 1 year to see if I could drive on these roads with the car so low...

So Ryan painted the front bumper recently, and it looks magnificent... i couldnt' have imagined it coming out better!

Seen your ride when I dropped off some stuff to him, it looks real good!

Man, that car is stupid low though! I had to do the finger-test under the front bumper, I think I fit 3...

Thanks man!

Great paint work. Looks awesome!!

Awesome paint work looks amazing! I hate little scuffs in my paint. I have a few, but not enough to paint the car yet.. It bothers me when washing and waxing though so I know how you felt haha..

Anyways, Great job Black89GT. Looks amazing!

Seems like the PO had bad luck!

Good to know a good local painter, I'm going to be getting a few parts that will need painted. Wasn't blown away with the DSG paint I got re shot on my hood. The hood and fenders look off.

Located in Bethel Park, PA.... i live a long way from Bethel, but it was worth every mile to have someone i can trust and give me an excellent end result.

Ryan also took care of a couple other things for me... the widebody gets a little chipped up just from driving the car... so he repainted those and the rockers... rockers weren't too bad, but i figured why not...

He also applied some 3M clear bra to those areas that easily get chipped from general driving around, so hopefully it won't be needed again...

This is what I want.

What are his prices for painting like? Is this out of a shop or his home?

**street591** · 02-26-2013, 05:07 PM

Whats the shop name? I have a few items needing done...

Ryan, shooting you a PM now

**SonofaBish** · 02-26-2013, 09:47 PM

I should also give thanks to everyone's favorite villan, toofast98cobra, for giving me Ryan's name.... :D

**cLockWise** · 02-26-2013, 11:13 PM

Hmmm he might be getting mad business here soon once people see this thread.. I know i'd definitely need some future work done to keep my car looking good!

This summer when I am out in Natrona Heights, I expect to be able to stop somewhere to see your car.. Maybe one of the nights everyone goes up to the Mills. Cause I need to see this beast in person!

Mine is still the silver color as it came from Corbeau. It's kind of a satin silver, which I don't like too much. Crinkle black or gloss black would definitely look nice. I'm planning to pull mine out here soon and have it powder coated gloss dark gray metallic. I was going to do it last winter but never got around to it.

That would be cool, whenever I'm planning to head up there I'll shoot you a pm a couple days ahead of time.

Sounds good Dan. I really want to see it in person after missing out on it over this past summer, then reading the big article about it!

Yeah, it looks like its in a primed state to be painted. I think if I had it powder coated black it would disappear into the dark interior. Silver might look good.

I too want to see the Cobra this summer.
