Yep.

http://img36.exs.cx/img36/5165/0000008resized1nk.jpg

They're for sale if anyone is interested. 20 bucks plus ship. The middle one is sold though. But thats not to say I cant make another one. Any color. I just need money. Savin up for a hot rod. Yes Mike, a hot rod.

Actually, if anyone is interested, Ill stripe anything for you, as long as paint will stick to it. Like I said, need some dough.

And just so this thread isnt one big shameless plug, gimme some crits or comments on the light switch covers!

Umm. A single. But is ti 20$ American?

Or is 20 for a double? Because I'd be shipping it from the states to Canada, so that'll probably be more thna I am paying for the swtich itself...

$20 US for single or double. I can find out how much shipping would be for you to Canada if you want.

Thanks. lots appreciated. If you want to make a profit, I'd say charge 25 for a double. Just me though....

According to UPS, it will be somewhere in the ballpark of 10$ US.

And as for the profit thing, at 20 bucks a pop, Im making plenty of profit. Go to your nearest Walmart or Kmart and look at how much light switch covers cost. :grinno:

Is satelite TV cheaper than Digital, or digital more expensive than satalite.

Might want to re-check that sentance:)

Anyway, GTR logo in front of Tach. But don't start Pinstriping yet, I have to see when I can get some chingy...I don't really have a part time, they don't hire 13 year olds...

I dont know what your talking about :uhoh:

And no worries, I havent started striping yet. As for hiring 13 year olds, I made the most profit in one year than I ever have til this day, and that was the year I was 13. I made about 3000 one summer mowing lawns. So no excuses! :iceslolan

Got a new one done tonight too.

Lol. The skull one looks pimped. Alright, well, I can try to mow snow? Might not work, but hey?

they don't hire 13 year olds...Its called child labor laws. Go mow lawns, work for your parents around the house.

HighOctaneNOSUser
12-10-2004, 12:21 PM
1. It's winter. Nothing to mow.
2. My parents don't give me allowance.

And hells no I hate doin flyers. So that's out of the question. Maybe I'll get a workers permit.

:confused:

Anyway. Use your head. Dont mow snow, shovel it. Two houses and you can get the cover. There are plenty of ways for a 13 year old to make dinero. Be an entrepeneur, ya know, like paint and sell light switch covers...

12-10-2004, 02:28 PM
Sorry wasn't reading it right. Yeah, I'm gonna go shovel sidewalks. But yeah, people are cheap here, so that'd be like 3-4-5 sidewalks for a cover. You better do a good job. Maybe I should sell drawings to people at my school...Yeah, that'd work!

Anyway, GTR on top of Tach.

Ive sold two drawings at school. If you think neighbors are cheap, try selling to your peers. The stippled Camaro and the penciled Hummer combined made me 16 dollars.

That's a good idea. I like to take orders from people and ten charge on how long they want to wait. It works too!

I go flat rate, because I never can get around to working on them right away. The Camaro took me about 6 months. Just remember, you can only charge what people are willing to pay.

HighOctaneNOSUser
12-10-2004, 05:51 PM
Too true...only charging what people want. That's why I usually let them name their price, but if they go too low, I'll tell em what's acceptable.

Actually, if you want to work on something else, be my guest. I can wait. Plus, I was sick most of the week at school, so I couldn't ddo my advertising campain....

I know its a light cover, but striping, and imports is like oil and water. They dont mix.

Alex, don't worry, Im not waiting, I have already got a couple other things in progress. Still working on my Von Bitch one (I did a flying eyeball last night) and I just bought an antique tool box and oil can today.

Not an antique oil box. And antique tool box, and an old oil can. And its just more stuff to pinstripe. Duh... :wink:
