well here at dreamworks its not even like that. He quotes you on a price and he guarantee's it to a certain degree. you can't go and key it up or get in a wreck and expect a new paint job. but if its our fault then we have to eat it and get it fixed. And we dont have a customer prep it first. There's a certain way you really need to prep body work in order for it to come out fantastic. We're going to let a customer try to figure out how to prep stuff. so you should check out the website

check out the work and if you want stuff done just give my boss a call at 717-0556 and his name is jeff.. and remember you do get what you pay for. if you want quality expect to pay more if you want crap then you'll pay cheaper. its better to get it done rite the first time. alright man

yup Joe is right..you do get what you pay for. Custom work is not like no Mcdonalds or burger king where it is fast served. The way is has to be done is by time and patients. All the work that comes out of this shop as a Great MIRROR FINISH. That is no lie! All of our work comes out with a mirror finish. No distortion on it. Dreams body works comes out like glass! If you come to the shop one day can check out my car no waves, cloudyness, or distortion on the body work. Its all about patients and time.

yeah that's real true funny how you compared mcdonalds and burgar king. But yeah christian's car is straight glass looking. no texture at all. the pearl is on point, dont look dry or orange peely. His rear end is molded as well as his sides. If you ever check them out those will never come off. you'll have to literrally cut them off. If he were to ever get in a accident it'll prolly only break in the middle of the kit and the rest will probably still be molded with the quarter. thats the way we mold our kits.

for a normall paint job not too much bodywork your probably looking since we do other cars just not 1. proably i say about 2 to 3 weeks max. usually the cost is 1600 all overs with little body work. door jambs are a little extra. probably 1800 you'll be looking at everything. and we take the doors off and everything so basically your car is a shell. no tape edges and looks like from the factory. thats normall paint as well. you can go high dollar and get house of kolor and things of that nature. little extra you can add a pearl or a metal flake in with the paint as well. but with metal flakes if there a lot you'll have to reclear your car. so in total it'll be 8 coats. thats so you dont feel the flakes. you dont want it to feel like dirt on your paint. alright man.
