From speaking with him, he primes, sands, paints, clears, then polishes. I may be missing a step. Price is excellent for the work he does and he uses oem paint or house of color paint.

"What's a rough idea on price for the coilcovers in DIB with silver lettering?"
Red is his most popular color and keeps them in stock. Mine cost $199 including shipping and were in stock. I got them within a few days.
He supplies the covers and airbrushes factory OEM paints. For colors not requested that often, I think he might charge more to cover the cost of smaller quantities of paint which costs more.
For custom one-off colors there's probably an upcharge as well.
Regardless, his work is top rate and he's a gentleman to deal with. There is no way I could have achieved the finish and quality myself using rattle cans. I consider his price a bargain.
Note: The black painted areas in the pics appear thin, but it's just the angle of the camera and flash. All releifs in black are full and contrast nicely.

Actually before primer I use an adhesive sealant .. This stuff sticks so well that once, I tried to sand the old paint of a set and it wouldn't come off unless I sand into the plastic. After paint it's 2 coats of clear, then airbrushed letters then 2 more coats of clear, then wet sand, buff, polish and put paint sealant after. LOOK GREAT TOM!!! RC
Can't wait to order. God, I said I wasn't gonna mod this one much...
Speaking of, I want the quality of the paint and layers and craftsmanship. But I'm wondering if I just did DIB and no letters. Just all one color. Does that change price any?

Rob's quality is second to no-one. I get so many compliments from mustang lovers and from my Chevy buddies. His coil covers are one of the best appearance mods available for our Mustang. You will not be disappointed.

Okay, I missed a lot of steps lol. Sorry to miss quote you Rob. Quality is ridiculous. Think that the AM ones without the airbrushed letters and most likely without all of the clear and sealing runs $200.

So would this still get all the steps? Including the 4 total clear coats?

Ahhhhh. I like it. Nothing against the lettering but I was looking at pics of the boss covers and really like the all one color. Plus as you may remember Rob, I was having issues with which shade of silver :-/.

There's 3 in that process. In general 3 coats is ALWAYS more than enough (2 are used to paint the whole car), but in the process with stripes, I sand down a lot between the 2nd and 3rd coat, which is why I use 4. When I don't do lettering, there is no need to sand between 2nd and 3rd, so 2 light and one heavy coat is more than enough....it's about twice the clear depth of a full car paint job. RC

THIS ↑↑...It took me awhile and a lot of mistakes to get the hang of the airbrushing of the letters.
You could always get a solid color like you want, then down the road if you find the EXACT silver you like just paint the bars...that's easy to tape off and spray silver.
ALSO, there are companies that sell letter inserts that stick in. They have lots of colors.

I think if I was to go silver I'd want the exact color of the strut bar. I haven't looked to see of its metallic or not yet. But for me to go that route, I'd want that silver.
I do genuinely love the all DIB. But I think part of the draw is that I don't know what silver that is.
