exactly, an expiernced painter can adjust on the fly, a student goes into freak out mode if something doesnt go perfectly.

so heres another update shop called today and gave me some forsure numbers... said were like at $1016 total and for that he said he can't gurentee that it won't crack a year from now... this hood is hands down the dumbest thing I have ever done in my life... freaking $1466.00 into this hood and thats not including gas or time. So I know have almost 4 grand into my car that I paid $7200 for wtf am I doing lol
Nice hood but def needs to be re fiberglassed and painted.
Even on the brand new hoods theres still about 200-300 of prep work so we talked about getting a new hood but considering there so expensive it was like we could but its not really going to save that much but yeah I payed way to much for this hood it probally wasn't worth $200
So I haven't heared from the shop in over a week I sent them an email this morning and am thinking of calling. Maybe the hood just broke in half or somthing... and they don't know how to tell me...
yea I guess their just busy we had a real bad hail storm a few weeks ago...so bad that the local dealer is having a "what the hail sale" can get a 2011 cts for 16 grand lol but yea the guy finally got back to me and all he said was I'll let you know when its ready
ive done that alot, then you get a angry person showing up and saying wheres my crap youve had it for 3 weeks lol
you know what if you calmly mention that, it might work.
if you go in with a ******* attitude they wont care.
well being at a bodyshop.
it gets busy and sidework like the hood kinda get forgotten about, and i was dealing with a guy he was super calm about his hood i was painting it took a couple weeks, and he nicely asked for me to take a couple bucks off, **** he was nice about sure why not, if he was a dbag, then no he pays full price
I agree 100% if your going to go b1tch at a buisness do yourself a favor and stay home instead. Funny thing is you need them otherwise you never would have walked in their door in the first place! Or you could abide by my rule # 1 refuse to pay people for what I can do with my own 2 hands! Will it be perfect prolly not. Will it cost less you damn right and I'll bet I'd buy some new tools with the money I saved. Far to many people are scared of paint. Go search the honda-tech.com paint threads and see what guys have done with plastic walls and like 200 bucks worth of materials!!
