Just a quick one
Where is best (in yr opinion) to get my new shell painted up?
Time is tight - i can post tomorrow but really could do with it back by the end of the week (racing on monday the 11th)
May be impossible in the time i have - i realise

The best or the quickest?
I've just had a couple done by Jon Miller on here and they are fantastic! It's a tiger's face (sounds weird but it works) and the detail is excellent. I was at Worksop yesterday.
I'm sure many of the others on here are very good too, see the RC Graphy section, there are lots of pictures from various people, all of whom seem to be well respected.

Keith @ Kifopaint.......
Look through his gallery, and he boasts some top drivers who require professional quality shells.

What are the costs of getting shells pro painted?
I know it depend on artist, shell, colours and detail, but i have no idea at all:confused:.
A rough figure would be good.

Mostly depends on how many colours etc... but i would say you are looking from £25 upwards.

Um for my shell-he should be doing it now hopefully get it for the weekend.
see below
1/8TH Xray 808 Low Profile
http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff211/jamiekerr14/JamieKerr-808LowProfileShellDesign.jpg
Paint is £35
logos are £10-For any and as may as you want I think..
postage is £6 recorded insured- For him to send it back..
It depends on the deisgn but most are 35
You can either send him the shell or order it to be sent to him sometimes he can order on in. Hope this helps!
