    "He buffed it real good"

    That was said about the guy at the body shop after this car was repainted

    holy cow, never seen a car look this bad in my garage

    my camera won`t even fully capture the carnage

    holograms, swirls, rids, sanding marks?,













    roof isn`t as bad but still really bad






    there`s no 1 step in the world that will get this coating ready, lol

    gonna have to give him a few more options

    i didn`t even do a test spot yet. i plan on having the client swing by after i get off work today and do a few test spots

    the car reads very high levels of paint which is good but the hood is by far the worst, some areas look like they held the brillo pad attached to the buffer quite long in areas.

    also its fiberglass so i cant read it, which sucks

    i don`t even think a Rupes blue/yellow two step could save this but I guess I`ll find out

    he will most likely not want to pay what I`d charge to do this correctly so I`m gonna offer up a polish, glaze, seal, wax Poorboys coctail (which I`ve been wanting to do for a while anyways)

    job was 1 step (if works out) + PBLv2

    im gonna offer him double the quoted price for a two step + same

    or the same price for a 1 step and a poorboys trifecta of white diamond, EXC and, Nattys White as I`ve never coated a vehicle with a lot of swirls on it and don`t really want to start now as he is going to a car show in dallas soon so I don`t want people thinking that`s the kind of work I put out

    but not going crazy here with free upgrades either

    I have a bottle of Uber Compound I have never tried- it`s about two years old but looks to be good

    or the ultimate UHS combo test, lol

    I am kind of worried of that fiberglass hood since I cant read it but the rest of the paint was reading very thick- I need to recalibrate my PTG just in case but I expect the paint to be nice and thick

    Looks like something that would come out of the "detail department" where I work.

    meeting with him after I get home and knock out a test panel of 1 step vs two step and see what he says

    NOT going overboard on this one, but a good chance to see if I can upsale to the proper paying job

    been considering what products to start with all day- lol
