Any TDPRI'er offering finishing service?

Did not know where to post this......is there anyone on this board
offering or would consider finishing a Tele body?
I am putting together a Partscaster for a friend and would love to get
a nitro finish for his guitar. I can't get a "pro" finished body for him due
to a limited budget.

After a little Googling I find that Cochiguaz, Elqui Valley is in Chile. Unless you find someone locally I think shipping would make the senario cost prohibitive.

Beyond the geographical issue, I would contact Rich at www.RiceCustomGuitars.com and see if he has time for one more

Shipping a body from Chile to U.S and back would indeed cost too much.
What I do is, I order body and neck from USACG for example and tell them to ship the stuff directly to the finisher.
Saved me some €€€ when I lived in Sweden where guitar parts and finishing
services are more expensive.
