oh, I mean this was painted by Rick Stefani and I gave him the joe bell painted Sachs' photos as a reference. it was a $350 paint job so I'm happy w whatever I get, but per Joe Bell, upon seeing a Rick job he told grant 'well I guess you don't need me anymore'
also - not sure what red your Sachs is but there have been several different reds used throughout the years / seasons. I didn't want candy paint for sure, I'm hoping this is closer to a pearl. remember it's also not a stock paint job ala any of the production Sam's. this was originally an orange sam that I was able to get on discount from Riv because the paint was marred somewhere. I took the discount as an opportunity to get a riv in the color that I wanted for a price pretty close to retail. >> On Jul 16, 2020, at 11:40 AM, 'Eric Norris' via RBW Owners Bunch >> <rbw-owners-bunch@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Funny you should mention ATMO red.
