9 hours of my time wasted. imagine how long it woulda took if i did the work myself. so keep this in mind when you tell a painter "it`s prepped, just needs paint"

when someone says that, the parts will still need to be rubbed down with an adhesive remover after shipping or whatever. I wouldnt blame the seller/painter or whoever. It just taked 10 minutes to do a final cleaning.....

those are parts i painted for a guy from work. he said he "so called did the prep work and it was good to go" so i wiped the shitt down, tacked it and shot it.
i fixed a few blemishes i saw by eye. i guess these needed some work too,lol.
this was more or less to show some folks theres alot more work in painting than most believe. only took me 3 weeks to get badzdads hood the way i wanted. then again this is just a hobby, not my job.
