Is he legit? Jeffrey Davila from Rutherford Jersey?

He seemed a little sketchy when I talked with him. I want 4 PCS Street Fighter statues painted. He'll do it for $1,200.


Seems almost too good to be true.

He lives an hour away from me, his portfolio is stunning but he's only been painting less than a year.

He really wants me to drop off all my statues at once and said I could be bumped out of slot if I don't give him them all at once.

He is going to charge more if I don't pay him as a gift.

Also, he can start in 2 weeks and get 4 statues done in a month.

He wants me to pay my $200 deposit quickly.

He's 48 and has been painting for less than a year. He said he hurt his shoulder and decided to paint then because he was bored and immediately got excellent; its in his blood.

Very very sketchy to me.

Has anyone heard of him or know anything about him? He's from Rutherford NJ.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe also check in the statue groups on Facebook? He has a FB profile, and has statue group member friends.

Sounds too good to be true.

Did you Google his name and see if anything comes up?

If you have to use him, give him only 1 statue and see how he does with that one.

He was recommended on the facebook statue collectors group. He has some shots of his paint-ups and repaints. It would be nice to have a local painter, but I’m not sure either. I’d only be dropping off *part* of a statue, so maybe I’ll give him a shot.

I don't even know, I have never encountered this. This is the first news for me.
