Detailer (paint correction) wanted in Northern Ohio....
I`m in Lorain, OH 44053. About 30min or miles west of Cleveland. Looking for someone within an hour or so drive. Maybe more if needed.
I have a 77 MGB that a friend painted 9 months ago. It isn`t a great paint job but I`m gonna have to live with it. He wet sanded to get rid of terrible orange peel and dirt in the paint. He didn`t compound or polish right to get rid of the marring though. It needs an aggressive compound step followed by a finishing polish. The car`s body is bare as seen in the pics below. No trim or other stuff to go around. No interior or other work needed, just the paint correction. It`s also a tiny car. Those would be the positives. The biggest negative is the car doesn`t run right now. I have a trailer and winch to haul it, but it`ll have to be pushed if I can`t backup the trailer to where you would need it. Hoping someone is willing to help me out with this somewhat unusual situation?
I tried to take a couple pics of the marring. Didn`t show up great since I only had a low watt, mini halogen and cheap camera. This could lead to other detail jobs if you do good work and you`d be interested. The Chevelle linked to in my signature is going to be due for a light polishing soon.
The bath towel in the pics was the painter`s. That gives you an idea of his detailing knowledge. :(

I`ll look into those two members, thanks.
I`ve installed all new wiring in the car. I know I`ll run into some problems when it`s time to fire everything up though. I`m used to working on American cars, and this British wiring sure does throw you for a loop sometimes.

Troy Scherer, is not that far from you.
Re: Detailer (paint correction) wanted in Northern Ohio....
I actually PM`d Troy this past spring about the same job. At that time he was willing to help if I didn`t find anyone closer. He`s about an hour and 45min from me. Would be nice if someone was closer, but if not I`ll see if Troy is still interested. I need to get this done so I can finish the car this winter.
Re: Detailer (paint correction) wanted in Northern Ohio....
Bump...
I know there are guys up in the Lorain area....
If you don`t get anyone I would be willing to help you out as well. At this moment though I am working 6 days a week so my schedule is not the greatest. |

The wait and drive is worth it IMO....
Re: Detailer (paint correction) wanted in Northern Ohio....
Thanks guys. I don`t want to be a burden on Troy if he really doesn`t want to do it right now. I wouldn`t want to do it either if I was working 6 days a week.
