Nate I need a job got any positions open over at your shop?.......


PS. Hes got a good point if you charge to fix something that you broke would you be doing your job or ripping the customer off?
I can see where they would charge for labor though you have to charge for labor of anything you do, becasue there allways will be orange peel, trash, but not runs unless you cant paint.....But as said before look for shit like that cause if your not satisfied they'll never tell you its gonna cost you extra to get it buffed its just part of the job and any shop who doesnt buff everything they do is pretty shitty in my eyes, buffing is not only for getting rid of trash and O/P its also for protection as with Finesse II......JMO

We used Diamont paint, and Limco(sp) clear that should tell the story there.......

Edit: Do you use the new Dupont static gaurd? was reading it in some flyer we got from Dupont about less friction in your clear makes for less trash in a horrible down draft booth (OR cross draft).......

I let macco paint a spoiler, which was off the car already, and they still missed about a half inch area on the back side (visible side) of both legs. They said bring it back once it was on the car and they would fix it then. Fuck that. I took my loss and ran. We have a guy in Richmond/Midlothian area who works at Whitlow Chevrolet and he does awesome work. He has primered a bunch of pieces on my civic and did a full repair and paint on the RSX from where some punk kids shot it with a pellet gun and then my roomate backed it into a wall when I left for vacation.
Anyone interested call Shawn at Whitlow Chevrolet on Midlothian Trnpk.

I got my old car repainted there. When I got my car back, they had painted on some of the trim and my sunroof was stuck shut.
