Does anyone know how much Richard Rose charges to paint housings, handsets, and dial finger wheels? I heard that he now paints both plastic and metal housings.

Richard has been having trouble with the painter who he has had for the last three years. It is a shame as he did wonderful work.

He has a new painter and has not come up with a price yet....Doug

As I understand it, a ballpark figure has been given, in the region of $16 for a whole phone.

Denis, I talked to him today and he still hasn't updated his site yet. But he did tell me what CJ stated, $16  for a full phone, shell, handset and finger hold on hard plastic phones. I don't know what he's asking for metal cases but, I believe he wants $4 for metal finger wheels. But I would advise anyone to contact him first about pricing.

Sure, it's obvious, but even at $16 for an entire phone, it's far from expensive. It's the mailing that costs the skin of the buttocks ... For the time being, I have not seen or have any metal phones other than metal 'finger wheels' and I have no problem with that to repaint them. As for shells and other plastics, that's another thing. But as you say, Ron, it's always best to contact him first to be sure of the right price.
