BASE-LINE CUSTOM

The basic repaint service essentially entails the choice of a new body color for the exterior of a model & is starting point for all of my creations and an excellent entry into the world of bespoke models.

​

The price point for  this service is as follows (does not include the actual cost of the model, only the service i'm providing):

​

​

TRADITIONAL METAL DIECAST MODEL

• $150 for an OEM color matched two-stage paint.

• $175 for an OEM color matched three-stage paint. (tricoat paints are most commonly found in pearl whites and brighter shades of pearl/red metallics.

MODERN RESIN & COMPOSITE MODEL

• $200 for an OEM color matched two-stage paint.

• $225 for an OEM color matched three-stage paint. (tricoat paints are most commonly found in pearl whites and brighter shades of pearl/red metallics.
  *resin & composite models are much more labor intensive to refinish because their paint cannot be stripped with chemicals. 

• as a result, the process takes much longer.
  
  

As of June 2021, due to increasing requests for builds, all builds have a 3 month window (MINIMUM) for completion.  A time frame will be discussed in detail if you decide to have me build a custom model for you.  **Note-That build window is contingent upon the required deposit being paid AND the date I acquire the donor model***

​

At this level of service, the fees above cover all paint supplies, my time disassembling, stripping/body prep, & reassembly.

​

***Note - Autoart, Kyosho, & older Minichamps models add an additional $15 to the above costs as these models generally require extra time & attention to tear down and reassemble.

​

Lastly, once the model is completed, the buyer is responsible for covering insured shipping to receive the model.
