As some of you may know, I recently sent my car in to SWC (aka Mike) to spray my entire car from Jet Black to Alpine White. I see that nobody here has ever done a review of his (and his workers') workmanship and thus I thought it would do some justice that I do a review here.
As most would be aware, to change colour of the entire car is a huge project and from black to white is even more huge-er and headache-y. I enquired with a few "reputable" spray painters and eventually through the strong recommendation of a few forummers here, I decided on Mike.
He said "two weeks to do a proper job", did not brief me much on the procedure, until I probed and asked further as a matter of curiosity. So I left, eagerly waiting for the 2 weeks to pass by agonizingly.
On the 13th day, I smsed Mike to ask when it would be ready and he said he would try to finish by today. Oh good, I can get it EARLIER than the 2 weeks. It was 10am. I waited and waited till his sms came finally at 4.50pm.."Boss, ur car ready". I hopped onto the next cab and rushed to Ubi.
When I saw my car, my jawed dropped. It was sheer beauty. I went to inspect the workmanship and it was excellent as though it was a completely new car collected from PML. Mike then walked me through the spray painting procedure and showed me the grooves and little corners of the car which was excellently sprayed white. All the panels and the engine bay as well as the boot and spare wheel well were superbly sprayed.
Mike even changed some of the parts which broke when the car was dismantled and did not charge me. All other parts were genuine ones ordered from PML and replaced at low cost and no unreasonable mark-ups.
In all, it was an excellent job and I am very pleased...considering that I was once skeptical that anyone could do a job as if it was straight from the factory and also thought that Mike's workmanship was overrated. Mike CAN deliver if he promises you a date. He CAN deliver a superb job as if it came from the factory. He is NOT that expensive as some here have stated. He is also friendly and will enter into discussions with you on car modifications. I had to escape or else I would end up spending more money.
I will post pics when I am able to.
So to those forumers who are thinking of spraying their cars and asking who to go or too lazy to do their own research. I will say Mike (SWC) is one EXCELLENT choice to go to.
One of my friends also sent his car in to spray from Grey to Alpine White at another reputable and highly recommended spray painter. He will collect his car soon and I will do a review then as a comparison.
