So you are going to powercoat a car part for someone, then somehow you get to keep an item that they give you, and trade up all the way to an evo? Wonderful. Why don't you just go to a credit union, and apply for a 15K loan.

That's exactly right. I could get a loan, no problem. What fun is that though? I'm doing this more for the adventure and to see what is possible. Similar things have been done before, I'm not an innovator but I do like to push myself to try new things that most people wouldn't even try to start.

I dont understand....so are you basically asking people to GIVE YOU stuff for you to powder coat and then sell? i dont understand.

Not quite, they trade me. I am offering my service in trade for a car part. IE: You send me your valve cover to powder coat and instead of paying me to do it you trade me another part (IE: Injectors) for my service and then I will be trading the injectors upwards for something worth more in value.

If I'm correct, the way it works is say you wanted your wheels powder coated.. Instead of giving him Money you trade him something else for his services like a turbo timer, radiator, strut bar, what ever. He'll keep doing this until he has enough parts to sell until he can afford an EVO.

Or, he'll take the traded item and try to "up trade" it for something of higher value and so on.

Cool idea if you ask me!

Def following this!

If you want a mass amount of used dsm parts, I'll give you a million things to powdercoat........ Literally.

Almost got it but I will not be selling anything unless I am just completely stuck where I can't find any way to uptrade but I am in no rush to move anything since it basically has no value to me. I will be starting off with 4-5 parts and up trading them until I get say a few shep trans or built motors or turbos or whatever I come across and then somehow trade them for an evo or trade them for a dsm that needs a little work, fix it up a little and trade up for something else until I get to the end.

Rob I will send you a message on FB.

Thank you for the support guys!!

This is a really cool idea wish i had something to help you towards proving a girl wrong haha.

renn · 01-16-2012, 01:00 AM

by the time you have something worth an evo:

a.) evos will be like 2000 dollars.
b.) there wont be any evos left.
or c.) the world will have ended.

I love haters

I would like to conquer this in under a year, hopefully 2 years max. They are still making evos that are 30k+ so I think im good for a while since I can afford the time to sit on things. One more person to prove wrong :-)

Sorry, you are not a vendor, so offering a service like this would be against our rules, albeit indirectly.
