looking for anyone who works for the city of chesapeake city inspections office or can link me to the correct law pages and ordinances, i need some regulations and laws on doing personal bodywork and paint and the damn website sucks for trying to find anything on this specific topic. i was visited by the city inspector today because of the punk ass neighbor thinking i was running a business and im not. i was working on my own car and a few things for a friend. he was a very cool inspector and let me off with a warning cause he could see that i do small paint work and bodywork out there. very cool of him to let me go with the warning cause im sure he could have sited me. i was under the impression that bodywork is completely legal but painting more than a certain amount a day without being a registered shop is not. i need some specific guidelines and rules so i can at least do bodywork out there and then go to a shop with a booth and spray my car and some parts. any help would be appreciated from anyone , thanks.

 

Rick, do you actually want to talk to someone? My old neighbor is a Ches city inspector, and I helped him out with a few EMS situations in the past. I might be able to get you a phone number. I'm not sure, but if you want, I'll give it a shot, or at least see if he knows the codes for that.

 

definitely, anything that might help.

 

good luck man.

 

I left a voice mail and he hasn't called back yet.

 

well hopefully he will soon,your bumper is sitting in limbo....let me know what you want to do about that.

 

Ricky... call Hans he will tell you whats up and prolly make a phone call on your behalf... you already know how that works.
