Sort of got roped into a tricky install this morning.
Received a call from a body shop that I generally do brake caliper decals for. They do work on astin martins, porches lambo's you name it.... I get there and I said OK where is the car and what do you want put on it.... I was thinking it was some small decal...
He told me that the the car was not there but at the dealership, so off we go. A 5 minute drive to this dealership that sells nothing but those types of cars mentioned earlier in the thread. I start to get a little nervous as I really don't like working on site and least of all on these types of cars.. In any case they show me the car. A fairly new lambourghini dark aqua. I asked, so how much does a car like this go for?
$750,000 was the reply... Now I am getting very uncomfortable and ask, so where is the decal. They hand me this black cut out decal that was a"SV"...see attachment... So this 39" by 10" decal cost the customer $1000.00... a deal because you got a left and a right!!!:ROFLMAO:
Now the best part of this is that the owner of the car paid someone $8000.00 for a ceramic wax job....That's right...$8000.00!!!! I was expected to put the decal over the wax which I flat out told them was wrong, but the customer insisted, so I did. I warned them that I could not be held responsible if the decal lifted off anytime soon, and they were OK with it, besides these 2 decals were worth about $20.00 in material. Was a bit tricky as even the tape would not hold well, got it down fine although removing the pre mask was a chore. Told them to let it sit and cure...got the hell out
