Hello,

My name is Ray Hill, and I am an American citizen (originally from MN) living in Stockholm, Sweden. I am an experienced custom painter/ designer/ body man. My areas of expertise
include design concepts, and rendering, all forms of custom painting - flames, scallops, graphix, murals, candy, pearl, flake, freehand lettering and pinstriping, freehand airbrushing, woodgraining, marbling, etc... you name it. I do all the work, from conceptual rendering, to ground and prep work to final clear coat.

My work has been featured in over 100 magazines in 15 countries.

Below, I have placed three links to pics of some of my
work at "webshots". There are three albums, showing
cars and bikes designed and painted by me.

If you would be interested, or know of someone who may be interested in having some custom paint work done, either "old style" or modern, please contact me. I am ready and willing to travel, and the PRICE IS RIGHT!

Respectfully, Ray Hill sprayhill@yahoo.com

PS.......I have shops in the US, Sweden, and western Denmark where I presently work. But I can come directly to you also...

Wow, looks expensive. Give me an estimate on how much you would charge to paint my red Camaro a totally different color.

You mean a custom job, or??

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Sat Nov 23, 2002 10:20 am

I mean from red, to say, some kind of metallic gray. Nothing too gaudy. Would that be beneath you?

hehehe.....nothing is beneath me... But I would be more interested if you put some MILD graphix or stripe or something on it. That would run around 35, 000 skr (swedish krowns) with jams and everything, including the under work and materials...

Maybe some pearlescent type ghost flames or something?

This is the color:

What is the current exchange rate?

Garry · **Posted:** Sat Nov 23, 2002 10:33 am

(Jack - FYI - that's about $3900)

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Sat Nov 23, 2002 10:35 am

Hmm, that's about $4000. Not bad, but not cheap by any means.

Garry · **Posted:** Sat Nov 23, 2002 10:36 am

Hm ... is there a sponsor available who'll pay for the paintjob for my '79?

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Sat Nov 23, 2002 10:37 am

It looks like it already has been to me, unless you are wanting some custom work, too!

But that price is with some kool graphix that run through the jams and everything...

Jack, that's the OLD pic, before we removed all the metal body parts and replaced w/GFK ...

Oh, I see Garry.

Spray, sounds great. I wish I didn't have such big car payments.

If you're still around next year I might seriously consider it.

sounds kool Jack.

So what does your car/cars look like? I bet it's badass. Do you drive a Fbody?

Squirrelina · **Posted:** Sat Nov 23, 2002 11:23 am

hmmm. Got the Aspen and the Camaro to be repainted.
But first they need to be technically ok.
And before that I got to get the tracks running for all of you.
So maybe I slow a little bit down with money spending
right now.

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Sat Nov 23, 2002 2:04 pm

How long would it take to do the whole car?

Ray,
What can you do? Are you only interested in spraying, or can/will you do more? How deep will you get into prep work? Will you do any body work? Will you color sand and buff? I've been thinking about some black stripes for the Nova or mabe even some flames. If I can get someone to get the car perfectly straight I might even go for a repaint in dark purple/blue.
What facilities do you have available in the Mannheim, Germany area? The car goes up on blocks in about two weeks so now's the time because I want to be ready to cruise come spring.
