I wasnt saying it was, i was just giving the other poster an example of other custom works that can go even higher since he was disputing the price of these customs.
This customizer isnt overcharging either though if that is what you was implying. Lets see, this customizer actually uses an airbrush, and doesnt just slap dull acrylics over everything.
He actually uses real car paint on his customs, like Bumblebee for example, he even went through all the hassle of getting the actual camaro paint to use on the toy! Now thats dedication and attention to detail for ya.
This also gives a higher quality product since car paint wont chip and or flake off every time you transform the toy, unlike acrylics.
Working with car paints is also more arduous then just dipping a brush in a pot of paint and slapping it over everything. Things need to be taken apart, prepped and masked up.
You need professional materials and skills to work with car paint, just as much as you do to paint a real car.
With all this in mind, and tasking into account the sheer level of raw skill required to make a toy look this good, $150 is a bargain!
