I paid what I thought was good money for getting bodywork and paint done on my car and I bought all the paint and materials and removed and installed parts and still got fucked on it. The paint and clear looks like absolute shit, theres runs in the clear, dry spots and now theres rust bubbles above one of the rear wheels again. It was done by a good friend’s father.
