Its not just a “spray” though. Shooting is the fairly easy part. Its addressing minor imperfections, more blocking, 1st prime, blocking, prime, block, final prime, final block, prep, taping/masking, and shooting. Theres alot more to it than meets the eye, and alot of people shit their pants when they get quotes for work like this. ---

I understand theres still a good degree of work that needs to be done, but all the prep was done for them, they may have had to tweak a few little things here and there but I’d think that the hardest part of the job is done. 5k seems more than sufficient enough to get a pretty decent paintjob done being all the prep was mostly done. Regardless of that thou, the dipshit should be smart enough to know that you dont leave an exposed prepped car out in the elements.
