Hi all,
My computer has been down for a week and I have missed this site! Anyway, a few days ago i went and checked on my CS that is in for paint and some minor body work. I want to ask some opinions of what i saw. I am paying $4,000 for paint the minor repairs- nothing more than a few minor dings and 1 larger, but not huge, crease in the rear just above the wheel. This car is a daily (almost) driver and I do not expect a showroom finish. They had it stripped down of all it's chrome except the door handles, which were taped off. Why didn't they remove these? They also hadn't removed the scoops or the screens, which they had taped off. I took pictures of it. It otherwise looked good. It was sanded and smooth and the body work looked great. Were they just lazy with the handles? Ane what about the scoops?? Should they be removed and painted separately so they can paint underneath? Or is is because it;s a less expensive paint job? Any advise would be appreciated.
