S0 ..... I do custom painting, might be paying off.
« on: July 21, 2007, 11:39:06 PM »

Many of you may know, I manage a paint shop as my job. I paid my dues to get there by painting in the RV industry for the last 20 years. I still do side jobs for fun money and have become involved with a company that is a major player in the Grand Am series. I do custom paint jobs on racing helmets. It's great money and easier then painting a 40 foot motorhome. The team is TRG (the racers group) and they will be announcing that they will be joining with the Wood Brothers and enter Nascars Busch series next year, with plans on being in Nextel cup within 3 years. Who knows, I may eventually be painting helmets for some pretty big names. Just kinda excited, had to tell someone. BTW, just starting to paint a 41 foot racing catamaran powerboat, the thing is damn near million dollar machine! The price of the paint job would have paid for my first house, LOL. No pics of the boat for awhile, they want it under wraps, but here are just a few helmets I've done.

Hmm I'll need a helmet for the RSDs (real street drags) at Wisconsin International Raceway.  Would you be interested in coming up with something for me??
