Looking for a Autopia Detailer near Chico, CA
Hi, I have a 1992 BMW 735iL that has been repainted. It was not a very good job and needs some work, possibly wetsanding. I just got it a few months ago and the previous owner had it painted and he did not make sure the job was done well. I am in Gridley, CA Thanks, Diane

I also go to Roseville/Rocklin a lot. My son lives in Rocklin so that is a possibility. Thanks

I guess I will try it myself. I intend to get it repainted right soon anyway. I have to find my rotary so I can wetsand it.

Re: Looking for a Autopia Detailer near Chico, CA
I don't know of anyone in the area. I would prefer to have someone do it, but I have no idea where. I have wetsanded a car before but this is a big car and I am not as young as I used to be. I have detailed my own cars for several years and know what I am doing which is why it is hard to take to anyone who is not as OCD as I am.

Re: Looking for a Autopia Detailer near Chico, CA
Well, not that many of us but some...
I'd be willing to do it but I think my mobile fee charges would turn you away, LoL. I wonder if artikxscout or d00t have seen this thread yet? Maybe they might consider taking the job since they're a bit closer.

I'd PM Chris a.k.a. SpoiledMan
His work is top tier.

Re: Looking for a Autopia Detailer near Chico, CA
I'd do it, but you're looking at 1k+ if there's wet sanding involved, or if the paint is oxidized, etc. Plus the cost to get there and lodging, as it'd most likely take a day or two. So figure $1300-1800 for the detail. I didn't reply 'cause I figured that's way out of your price range.

Re: Looking for a Autopia Detailer near Chico, CA
I would not have a problem at 1K but I fear the paint job on it may not be worth the expenditure. If you are in Newark I may see if I can arrange to have you look at it some time I am down that way. My husband works in SF but he usually takes amtrack and stays in the city leaving his car in Sacramento. If you have any interest please let me know. Thanks
I joined autopia over seven years ago, today after just working on the hood, it feels like seventy years. Nothing like detailing to make me feel old.
