Come on guys, not sure what this is worth. Anybody got any offers?
You know there is a rule on here about thread craping.
Yes i am well aware what an SKS is worth and yes i am well aware what DuraCoat paint costs i buy it all the time. Some day they may make something that flies off the net and puts itself on a gun but until then here is what we have to do.
Somebody has to strip the gun, beed blast it and prep it for for paint (if you want a quality job that lasts forever) now that has taken up a day of my time, oh by the way you would need to buy the equipment to do this work.
Next we put a base coat of paint on the gun and let it dry for several hours.
Next we put the gun back together as much as possible with larger parts.
Next we put the first stencils on it carefully as to start a pattern of colors, oh and by the way it is a good idea to buy a good quality paint gun to put this on with, doesn't work well with a paint brush, then we decide what color will look best next and apply that color and let dry for several hours.
Next we put the next set of stencils on an the next color, this gun has five colors on it so you get the idea.
Next you pull all the stencils off and use a special cleaner to get the glue residue left behide from the stencils cleaned off.
Next you spray it with clear coat for and even finish,(had to by the cearcoat it didn't come in the kit).
Next you disassemble the gun and put all the internal small parts and peaces back in and reassemble the gun, Know its done.
So lets summerize here, i took a $350.00 gun and bought a kit for $100.00, i didn't want the colors in the kit so i bought four other colors that i did like, i bought some clearcoat,(not in the kit) i bought some thinner,(not in the kit), bought a paint gun just for this application, bought a beed blast cabnet and all other necessary components.
Spent two days prepping and painting and you think the paint job is only worth $100.00
Now $700.00 may well be more than the gun is worth we don't know that, obviously more than you want to pay but maybe not for the next guy that thinks it's really cool and just what he is looking for, thats the guy i want to talk to, but never the less that is why i said "make me and offer"and oh buy the way you could call up guncoat Northwest http://www.guncoat.com/index.php?loc=80 they use the same DuraCoat paint for there jobs and if you have them do this same plaint job it will cost you $900.00 or more.
Steve,
PS thanks for the bump.
I called GUNCOAT NW about a month ago , checking on pricing a paint job on my Mossberg 835. SJS46 is RIGHT ON THE MONEY HERE , they wanted $1,000+ to paint my shotgun. Good quality work doesn't come cheap anymore......
I think it looks GREAT. What is the worth of a one of a kind gun you would get so much attention with at the range? What you are asking for is nothing compared with the smiles you would see when people see it . WOW. Nice. and on and on. The dang thing probably shoots good too. Its a masterpiece someone should of scooped up a long time ago.
WOW, 4 pages in a WTS add in the classifieds, and not a single offer. I am not saying that your rifle is overpriced, 4 pages of complete BS says that loud enough. I guess it should come as no surprise, I have also seen small rifle primers for as high as 110 dollars/thousand, and a WASR-10 for 900 dollars. I understand the concept of free market and I agree with it for the most part, but what really disappoints me is the stupid people that can not see when they are being taken for a ride. The stupid people that would pay too much for something because they have no clue, they are the ones that ruin free market. One such person even said you would get smiles at the range when people see this rifle, they wouldn't be smiles, they would be snickers because they think you are an idiot also. I wasn't going to post on this thread because I did not want to crap on your thread or hurt any ones feelings, which I have a tendency to do, but after 4 pages of this crap I can't help it. I am sure this will get deleted but I had to say this.
You know man, keep your "opinions" out of peoples ads. I cant believe that you would have the audacity to slam this guy after hes had to explain himself over and over again to most of the people who have posted here. His asking price is perfectly reasonable, with the cost of his own time and expertice in applying the duracoat. If you dont like it, shove off! The same goes for the rest of you that have nothing better to do than to s**t on this guys thread! Its people like you that need to go back to THR or Glock Talk and quit cluttering up ads and thread crapping. GET THE **** OVER IT!
