Anybody custom paint?

You could ask Kelly Duford (I think I spelled his name right). He does excellent custom work. Although he's not a member on here as far as I know. He's got a website with his work and contact info you could check out

I just checked out his site and it says he is no longer taking work from non-existing customers due to heavy work load. His work looks very good though. Delano is also out of the custom painting work according to an email I received from him a month or two ago.

I can also vouch for Josh. He has done one for me already and I have a second in his shop. Hoping to continue with his services if he has time. I have a couple I want done up in my leasing companies livery.

if i had more free time i'de offer to help but my new work schedule makes it difficult to get my own stuff done.

Have any of you heard from Josh lately? Also, dispatcher812, have you received your locomotive back from him yet?

I sent him a locomotive December 2010 and every time I would email him asking about progress, (I wasn't constantly pestering him, I kept it reasonable, one email a month), he would always tell me that he's still working on it. Then, in July, he said that he finished, but needed to photograph it for his website. Ok, I thought. I was hoping to get the locomotive back after a year and a half. (The locomotive I sent him is nearly impossible to find these days). I've emailed him twice since then and have not received a response.

No I have not. I too had been checking with him ever so often and he usually got back to me. However i have not tried in a while.

I just check out his site and its very new. Maybe his old contact info does not work anymore. I sent him message through that asking about mine and told him that you (diburning) where also looking for him.

When was the last time he posted? I haven't seen him on here in a long time or on other boards.

Last post I've seen from him was September 25th on his facebook page.

Josh is one of my best friends and he has been really busy lately. He told me that he needed to get some projects done. He wants to buy an air compressor so he can get projects done, but he hasn't been able to get it due to some issues he had earlier this year.
I am confident he will get the stuff done. He is working on some weathering projects for me btw.
