Well he is 38 or 39. Don't know him personally but he isn't up to par on getting stuff done. I know it shouldn't take 4 months to paint two bodies

I started a thread in the paint and complaint department. His web address is on the photos too. He isn't a member here that I know of. He was found on another forum.

Most companies use proprietary fonts that can't be matched without serious time and effort being spent to do so. Think about how many repo decals miss details, and they are using direct scans to copy from. In my opinion having them painted on and at least being recognizable is a feet in and of itself.
Looking at the pictures, the painter used entirely the wrong font on some places, and his measurements are quite out of whack. If a certain letter is located at a certain point on the pictures, and he can't get the font he is currently using to match the spacing, he either needs to use another font, or learn to use a drawing program to modify text to match the real thing more closely. Doing that with Photoshop or Illustrator (or similar) is not rocket science.

Well here it is I'm not so critical, looks awesome too me. I was interested in it because it kind of matches my dye job I did in black, that became bronze colored.

I'm at least happy you were able to put it to use. As I said the guy does good work it just wasn't what I wanted. Thanks for posting the pics Jim.
