Reply to "Think I Could Charge People For This?"

I custom paint musical instruments for people.   I do charge.   It is a very, very side business that began with me customizing my own. As others have said in this thread, I go over fully what the person wants right down to color and finish type (flat, gloss, metallic, anodized looking, etc..)

I do send pictures or have them over as I proceed with each step.   It's not a volume business, and not a big moneymaker, but it does put some extra cash in my pockets.   They key is to be very clear and explain all the steps.

I say go for it.  Your example here are phenomenal.   If I needed weathered trains I know I would reach out to you.

While not a train, here's an example of what I do. 

It's a new pro portable keyboar that someone wanted to pop with an anodized aluminum look.  The top shell was simple black hard plastic.   I use Duplicolor Automotive paints

It's in a box in the attic, but I do have an old diesel loco that I got crazy with and refinished with Duplicolor.   I'll go find it and post a pic.  It's a dark purple "Plum Crazy".  Why?  Because I can
