    Hi guys

    A friend of fine shot a 94 astro van with omni single stage acrylic enamle yesterday. When i came in today to see the van it looked really bad when you look at it up close and when you feel it, it feels like sandpaper. I guess i have to sand it and reshoot it again

    Isn’t that almost too good for a 94 Astro Van? :silly:

    Here’s a genuine bad job… This is my courtesy car I loan customers and it suffered a bumper crash. It was repairable, but the insurance company appointed bodyshop decided to replace it. Here’s the result:

    Check out the orange peel:

    I am a SMART repairer and I would be ashamed to give a job like this back to a customer. where is their self respect?

    Cheers
