The price for one of his basic paint jobs starts above $800, and right now, there is a 3 year backlog. (He's IMHO the best brass painter in the country, and even now he still makes Alan and I look like rank beginners. Sorry Alan.:o)

Nope, not Gwynne. David C. living now in I think Milton, Fl. I first met him in my home town when I was 16 years old. Hung with him as much as possible until I went to college. Then low and behold, 2 years after college, he shows up in Mobile! Taught me a lot of the basics. Told me, he couldn't teach technique, as that requires a bit of creativity, which is different from person to person. (Not sure I said that right, but I hope you understand).

I probably ought to be concerned, him first in Selma, then Mobile, then Birmingham for a while, all during the times I was in those same places. I mean afterall, he did work for the Federal Guv'mint as an investigator/law enforcement officer. Wonder what the dossier he built on me says?????:rolleyes:
 
I'm not familiar with him or his work, though I have approached his price ranges several times ;). There seem to be fewer and fewer brass painters these days, as there is not shortage of business if you want it.
 
Two things.. one comment and one question.

I work for NS, and the other day I was on a geep. Walking around my geep I could see where they painted over the Southern paint scheme. I could see underneath the NS black paint the outline of the stripe that goes around the engine and also the outline of "southern" on the long hood. I thought to myself, all the time I spent stripping my engines and here I find out that in real life they just paint OVER the previous scheme!!!

question - What have you guys found out works good for stripping Kato and Proto units ???? stone
