Super nice guy to work with! But unfortunately I'm not impressed with the lack of attention to detail. I had a fender repainted and was given back to me with orange peel & oversprayed clear coat, it was night time so I couldn't tell in the immediate. He told me the next day orange peel sanding was a separate charge that was not disclosed to me that night... I called a local body shop to see if this was normal as an after the fact service, they told me that's not standard practice. He was nice enough to come back to sand it down without charge, and to be clear, from a distance the job looked good. But after close inspection again after he left i felt more was left to be desired. I immediately began wiping down the clear coat dust that was left from sanding on the other panels, inside the hood, under the fender cover, and garage floor. I pull the fender cover off and turns out most of the body clips were broken (I wondered why the fender cover wasn't flush), and a small small sliver of the fender cover was missing from the initial removal for painting. Around the edges of the panel after the 2nd visit, I found spots of overspray that had not been sanded down/polished properly, and pits in the clear coat in a few spots on the fender. Also found a couple dark marks by the door. To conclude: wanting no more hassle, I spent a few hours in the evening polishing up the panel to get things looking better and replaced the fender clips. This is nothing personal and I enjoyed chatting with you. I hope you take away value from this to better your practices.Service: Painting
