69vette will say its not about the money its the principle n blablabla....shoot if i had the cash that he obviously has id pay stryker what is obviously his expenses that he's show proof of reciept just to make this go away....but instead he'll be stubborn and look like a tool because anyone can search for his name and not wanna do business with him or listen to him....hell he could pay him and this thread could turn into free publicity for the both of them for a sick painter and a sick looking car.

I know... it's a shame. If 69 doesn't pay him, and his car does get featured, people will just talk **** about it, and talk about what a tightwad the owner is and oops... did this thread just get forwarded to Rick@GMTHP?? Damnit!!

Well i said all thats needed. If you want me to post any of the three things that clearly verify him being paid what he asked for then someone pm me and I will. Those three things will stand up in any court. Business isn't getting hurt at all by is lies.

I can get 10 people to sign a statement that I jumped over the Grand Canyon on my tricycle. Would you consider that proof and believe it? You are relying on fabricated 'proof' which doesn't currently exist. Those five people are probably your relatives or friends, why wouldn't they back you up on somthing so trivial? It isn't like this will ever go to court, and they aren't going to prison based on what they 'think' you paid.

Your excuses are just lame. You agreed to pay ALL expenses to get this work done for FREE. He posted the receipts, so pay the expenses. You OK'd that you would pay for his gf's expenses too, and changed your mind after the fact. TOO BAD. You still got the work done for free, and your claims of getting the car featured haven't amounted to anything.

I have a long list of Primedia email addresses, I'm sure some of these guys would love to see this thread. Pay the man what you agreed to, and I'll make this thread disappear.

Didnt know I was getting paid by the hour...

Oh look, here in the email you finally agreed to pay me the $300. Which you havent of course.

See your mouth is doing all the talking, but you arent coming up with any proof. I have posted numerous emails between us to disprove your statements. It doesnt take a genius to figure out which person is lying.
You never answered me by the way. Have you talked to Rick@GMTHP lately? Or was whistlers PM the first he has heard of your car

Seems like a bad seller alert or perhaps a compulsive liar is in order for your username.

You make me sick you are soooo good at what you do! You're work is short of awesome. I aspire to be as talented with an airbrush as you are someday. That really sucks what that guy did to you! Does this guy happen to be in Richmond VA?? I see it says "dh" in your screen shot.

It's pretty overwhelming at this point... 69 you're acting like a douche and frankly, if I was Stryker I'd fly back and either key your car or hit it with a rattle can... In the real world when you don't pay for the product, you loose the product.

69Vette (Dustin), your peers sure do not agree with your actions. Why not just be a man about it and own up to your mistake? Just pay the guy.

That is one bad-*** looking paintjob. I would love to get a True Fire paint job on my hood like the one you have in your sig. Real great work.
