38 lightning gettin "mitcher t'd"
 

hey guys thought i'd take a moment to post some info on here about my current project i got goin on. a week or so ago i dropped my 38 lightning off at mitcher t shop. it currently has the american flag graphics on it and even though boat was in great shape and i loved it , it just didn't have enough "pop" to it. so i called up actually to speak to mitch about getting my dash, grab rails, seat bases, switch panels and such airbrushed and one thing lead to another and wound up pulling trigger on a full redo. i've bought my first boat 17 yrs ago and thru the years we have all been involved with directly or indirectly heard of all the horror stories with some people in the biz. i'm sure there will be alot of people to back me up when i say that mitch is been pleasure to deal with. so far thru out the process he's been great! he's truly a master at his craft I've been beyond happy thru process so far and would reccomend him highly, he has gone above and beyond the call of duty in every aspect. he shot some of it monday into tues and will be shooting the rest this week so i'll update pics as i get them.

here are the original pic and final rendering and some process pics

some more process pics

some more pics...............................

Looking good,Yeap he's agreat guy to deal with and he doesent mess around.He knocked mine out quick.You want get that kind of service anywhere else!!

Keep the picks coming:drink:

he is awesome, you will love his work, I plan on getting him to update mine in the near future, it's like getting a new boat:drink:

Looks great,can't wait to see it finished.If you don't mind about how much $$ wise.If you don't want to post please send PM. Thanks

in fairness to mitch i wont post on here because every job is different , if he sees this he's more than welcome to post price i have no prob with it , if not i'll ask him tom if he doesn't mind i'll post it . i can say though i think way more than fair price for this amount of work and i was very suprised at actually how affordable it was. i did wind up spending a little more than first quote do to the fact once i got there and made several changes such as removed rear railing that goes around sunpad and filled holes in, added underside of hatches, and also orig design was just sides like factory paint and i added paint around the rear into the swimdeck and going to paint name and port on back he also carried paint into and around the engine compartment. but even with the extras still stayed well into my comfort zone budget wise.

Ok thats fair I just have no idea what it would cost thats why I asked.Again it looks great

Nice project, looks like it's going to be very nice.

new dash, switch panel, bolster switches renderings

Awesome! Congrats....It's looking great. I can't wait to see the finished product! :flag:

All that done in a weeks time already?

i actually dropped it off the 4th of april but he didn't have a spot for it yet so think he started prepping it beginning of last wk with a few repair spots from where a rookie houseboat renter bumped me at harmon creek end of season last yr

Cool project, can't wait to see it.

Looks good

badass! looks great!

Thats awesome...Cant wait to see the final pics.
Mitch is a great guy to do business with. He has the passion.

Love the dash cant wait to see the final !
I see a dash in my future!!!

One thing I have really liked about Mitchs work is the designs don't seem to be as busy as some of the other painters. He leaves a lot of open space that ends up looking great.

Even though I have painted flag themes I am not a big fan of most of them, but this one looks killer.

Can't wait to see the end result.

BTW

Are the grab rails painted or powder?

I have a Mitcher T. paint job on my 42X. It's sure is a good feeling when people compliment you on your BOAT.


I've never had one issue with Mitch. Here gets my 100% APPROVAL!!!!

lets see some more pics of Mitcher T Fountains :evilb:

That looks fantastic. Make sure you post pics when completed!!

+2

the bottom of the hatches....just look awesome....really set it off. My hatches are up more than they are down... :)

man that will be one head turner when it is done

I can tell you that Mitch is awesome to work with and will only use Mitch, last year on the way home for the shoot out we dropped off my boat for a quick re do aweosme to work with!

I also have never been a fan of the flag paint jobs but yours is the best I have ever seen and I like it please post pictures as you get them.

Congrats:coolcowboy:

Mitch is one of the guys in the industry that you can count on. He has done work our 42 GTX and recently to the 42 Fountain. What a great guy. Congratulation on your project it looks great.

Beautiful

I apologize for getting off subject...you have a 42 GTX and 42 Fountain?...it would be great to start a thread about how you compare the two...again sorry for the hi-jack

I just had mine done in January. Mitch is a great guy ! :drink:

I hope these come through.

yeah i understand with the , not being the biggest fan of stars and stripes paintjobs, i myself am not usually a big fan of them either alot of times there way to busy and no flow whatsoever , i've seen some paintjobs that prob took alot of time and money to do and i don't think they looked as good as my factory paint. so when i decided to do the redo i figured i'd let him make some drawings and see if i was gonna go down that path or go a different direction with graphics but when i saw how they looked and i was blown away and really fell in love with the design, but you still don't know how its gonna turn out from a drawing but after i saw the pics of the hatches i figured if the rest of it looks that good should be sweet looking. thanks for all the comments hes sup to send me next round of pics in morning and i'll be sure to post them

Nice!

I like it.

Looks awsome can't wait to see it in person. Keep us updated, when do you expect to have it completed?

hes thinking first of next week sometime give or take

No longer have the GTX but it was the most forgiving boat I have driven. Water conditions really didn't affect it, just made you drive it that much harder. I miss it but it was time for a change, this is our third 42 Fountain.

very very nice
