Its “private”? That imo is a crock of shit. If you are paying someone to paint your car, there should be no reason you cant stop by once in awhile to check progress. I know from being an ex-painter/body guy that having people there constantly is a pita, and I usually dont like people there while I used to paint, but its expected that people wanna check their shit out from time to time… ---

Not feeling the chrome/stainless B-pillars though, if those were black it would look dope. Learned to paint at Manscini’s, where I interned for 2yrs, did the Vo-Tec thing as well, then moved on to painting at Stanita Customs, Princetown auto body, and KME, along with doing side jobs here and there. The trade used to be fun, and could make a decent buck doing it, but insurance companies have since fucked that for us. The money is in restorations, but there isnt a huge market for it in Ny like there is elsewhere… So I got out of the field. Have about 8yrs of experience though. ---
