      Then can you go fucking take some pictures. 12 pages and all we can see are shitty cell phone quality photos showing nothing but imperfections. If you want to shut us up, go take some decent pictures bro.

      This thread is like ordering a five star prostitute and having Sally Struthers show up.

              I was referring to an efficiency stand point bud.

              Oh and consciously decided to paint the pos stock oil cooler isn't bad prep. It's called preference. If a customer wanted me to paint their oil cooler, you are damn right it would.

              If it isn't overspray, and actually painted then it is not poor prep.

              (unneeded)

              Now as far as the foam on the rear deck lid being painted, I agree that looks like poor prep. However if the op is truthful in that he asked for it to be painted, then who are we to say ANYTHING about the painter.

              I hear everyone was lining up to blow Vlad after seeing pictures of his car, until someone posted close ups.

              It goes both ways, this car may turn out perfect. I'll reserve my opinion until I actually see the details.

                I bet his muffler is blue too along with the spare wheel well.
                I also read that the roundel was taped off LOL?

                Poor preparation usually leads to shoddy work.

                if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a poor prep job. have a nice day.....
