I worked on this car with Matt, the owner of Tyra Detailing

This car was repainted, but it is one of the worst paint jobs I have seen.

Re: Green Civic

Nice save, Tamás! Looks like the "quality" work my R8 customer just got... I'll be correcting that once the paint has cured .

Thanks man - this was a very bad paint job (maaco?). The hood should have been sanded but that was not an option.

I wish. I am working really hard to get details lined up. Out here in OR it is very different. Lots of so called detail shops, but all they do is basic details. No one does paint corrections as far as I can tell. (except for the couple of guys who post here)

thanks!!!!
