NORCAL Paint jobs $500

[bernzpeed]

Go to a dealership anbd look at brand new cars. They have orange peels.

It was already emphasized that he is doing an apprenticeship, so no one should expect it to be completely perfect as that takes more time and will cost more money.

Word to the thread crappers, gtfo.

You said it: "The correct way to fix this is after sanding, primer and then Sand again [and again and again]."

I'd want a correct paint job (which means a lot more than re-sanding... it means windows-out, trim-off, etc.) if I'm paying anything for it.

Different expectations for different people. Fair enough.

If it's sounds too good to be true...

Not to be rude but I dont care what you want. If you are paying me to paint your car then I will consider what you have to say. What sounds to good to be true? An apprentice painter offering his services at a reduced rate? Think whatever you like but please don't come in my thread insulting my work. This is how I eat and you sitting in your room judging my work that I did for someone when you have no idea and could not know what was expected payed or really ANY dynamics of the Job in question.
You said you wouldn't let your car come home looking like that for free and that's fine it's a free country and you can go pay between $3k and $7k and it wont look like that.

Again that peel was from a previous very poor respray which makes my job a million times harder. So for you to come in here w your shitty arrogant attitude and say ewwwww omg theres peel on the roof what a ripoff is unneeded.
Thanks.

All I could do at this price was sand/feather as best I could. The correct way to fix this is after sanding, primer and then Sand again. This customer was hose the former and was happy.

Sorry dude, but that roof doesn't look very good to me at all. From 10 ft. it looks fine, but those close-ups make me really question what it looks like in person. Pictures usually hide the imperfections.

I wouldn't let my car come back from paint looking like that even if it was free.

I'll take my factory paint even with some age spots showing.

X2 large amounts of peel on roof

If you ever get a chance to see the port where BMW brings in there cars from the U.S. they have a full Post Delivery Inspection there where they clean up paint imperfections during shipping. So some cars are NOT all OG paint from the factory but can be spot painted and blended before it hits the showroom.

They're also not required to tell you about this.

+1 Factory paint is hard as fuck against chips. And yes I see what you mean there tends to be a lot of orange peel in factory paint jobs.

True on some cars, but high end cars really dont have imperfections in their paint. Most of the time its just orange peel and what not but the quality of the paint and clear coat isnt bad. Thats why newly resprayed cars easily chip where original paint is harder to chip.
