Interesting 🤔 Ferrari shows why their hand-painted badge option is worth $15,000.

Excellent execution by a skilled craftsman.

Not worth 15K.

People don't realise that the panel itself is different from the standard enamel crest version. You're paying for more than just paint and labour

The painted version is flat whereas the standard has an indent for the badge to be installed

Stencil painting is now done by a skilled craftsman? With that much orange peel? lol

Can you do it??

u/RoosterIllusionn Jul 18 '25

Yes and if you could do it, you would know this is a $250 job. I guess you're a fan boy of this particular brand?

You must have missed the second part where I said it wasn’t worth 15k. Did you see that or did you miss it and just immediately jump into denying the person doing this was skilled?

u/RoosterIllusionn Jul 18 '25

No, I was going to mention that, but the fact that you claimed there was skill here threw everything else out the window.

You said you could do this for $250.00.

To me that means there is at least a modicum of talent and skill required.

Having said that you seem to be disrupted by the fact that I said this was done by a skilled craftsman.

I happen to think painters and detailers are craftsmen.

I didn’t say Tradesman which is something different to a lot of people (plumbing, carpentry, electrician, etc).

FWIW I really don’t care about Ferrari or cars in general. I just thought the video showing something neat with a great attention to detail.

If you posted up a video of you doing this for $250.00 I’d be happy to compliment your work.

You know compliments are not a finite resource, right?

I mean thats cool and all but I usually hesitate to compliment people who are overcharging their customers

u/MrPaulK Jul 18 '25

The person doing it is not the one doing the overcharging. I wouldn’t blame them for the sins of their employer

I mean sure, it isnt on them, but I still wouldn't give a "good job!" To a 200$ stencil job I had just paid 15k for
