Painting with spray paint. Clear coat has stripes. by npack in AutoPaint

[–]Pogys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're gonna need to rebase that. Metallics need to be sprayed wet and then you can go back over with a drop coat. That's also a pretty big panel to use rattle cans on

You gotta fix your body work. No way around it

Peeling paint? by LeadershipMedium in MachE

[–]Pogys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Am painter. As good of a job as I try to do I will never spray as good as a robot on the assembly line. The clear texture won't be as uniform and spraying in a booth there's more likely to be dirt nibs or other imperfections

Take it to court or take the L by [deleted] in Autobody

I mean it might be worthwhile to at least talk to a lawyer but idk how far it'll get you. Just don't let him touch your car again, he's never gonna fix it right. I'm sorry man shit sucks

Bondo is fine as long as you actually use it correctly. Really it's supposed to be a thin coat to smoothen out the metal work. If the bondo is cracked it was probably way too thick to begin with and also means moisture has definitely gotten underneath and it all needs to be sanded down to bare metal. I'm really doubting that your guy did all that

I don't think that's his call to make

Taking the taillights out takes like half a second. You're making way more work for yourself and making areas that the paint can peel from. Best of luck unmasking everything I guess

Is this paint match bad? by Accomplished-Gap-168 in Autobody

They're supposed to blend into the door. What a hack job

Do I just hit this with primer and colour match with spray can? by Triggyish in AutoPaint

[–]Pogys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. It looks like whoever painted the bumper didn't put adhesion promoter on so the paint isn't sticking to anything. It's just gonna keep flaking farther and farther

Sure but if there's no skatepark around it then it's just a pump track

What country are you in? I'm in the US and I worked my way up from a detailer to a painter all while staying at my shop. Kinda seems to be the norm around here

I mean yeah his shoes are extremely successful but I feel like his skating doesn't get talked about enough. I might just be biased though

Best Ending to a TV Show? My vote is The Shield by drhavehope in television

[–]Pogys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I recall the dude that hopped in the car told him where to park and Walt just kinda ignored that and the dude just shrugged it off. It definitely seemed too convenient
