Baz, I dont know much about painting cars but if the car has only had its first coat of paint why has the plastic protection been removed and the car removed from the spraybooth?

Regards.

You don't know much about painting cars and I know about half of what you know. I asked him the same question yesterday Mando. Apparently he likes to give the first coat a few days to harden then he gives it a light going over with wet and dry before the final coat of colour goes on. Then we do the striping, then the clear then the flow coat.

That's what he's telling me, but he's told me so many lies over the last 10 weeks that I don't know what to believe.

He's only got the one spraybooth and has heaps of work so while my car is out, another one is in. My car certainly has no priority. He has to look after the Insurance jobs in preference to mine, as these are his bread and butter. He hasn't indicated that to me, but I think that's the real situation.

He's doing a magic job on my car so I dare not say anything to him at this stage. I'll let rip when I finally get it out of there.
