    I am in Galway and cannot find any company interested in painting my 1956 Chevy truck. I have contacted 12-15 companies, within a 25 mile radius of galway, via email and by direct contact. Athenry, Moycullon, Tuam, Oranmore, Bearna,Roscommon, and all companies in Galway no interest or too big of a job. I am getting pissed off. Dublin is a long way from Galway to transport the truck and its costly. Can anyone help me?

Dublin is a long way from Galway to transport the truck and its costly. The complete truck was sand blasted with glass. All rusted panels have been cut out and replaced with new parts imported from America. All parts welded and bondo applied and sanded with 120 grit. 1k primer applied to prevent rust starting. The truck in not driveable. All wiring removed.
    Any help would be appreciated?

    Well good luck with that. I've contacted 14 reputable companies to paint my W126 and only two had the courtesy to get back to me, one wanted €12,000 to paint it and the other cant take it until next May!

    Sure you'd buy the kit yourself for that price! With change left over.

    Potential sideline?

    Might be a good idea pming a regular in the motors forum called suppergurrier.
    Got the bumper on his st sprayed for 90 quid, yes you read that right and for 90 quid it's excellent.
    Not concourse, but who wants concourse?
