As the clear coat was being applied there were insects appearing from everywhere (must have thought it was a flower being bright yellow). Amazingly only a couple got stuck but what is one supposed to do other than walk away in the first place?

Unmasked the car and Monaro Man checked it over and paid me. Half an hour later he's on the phone complaining about the insects,the blend out and suddenly the color. Went back the next working day to fix the problems and by now he's had the "advice of a paint expert" so when I get there he refuses to let me touch it.

With his threats of suing etc the money (he paid cash no invoices bloody cheqpskate) was refunded.

As per my Adelaide colleague we pride ourselves in the work we do in the situations we work in and I can assure you my business (10 years) is built on referrals.

Yeah there sure are some ****ers out there who think they know paint surface care etc etc
From what you have posted, seems understandable and the insects were out of your control

As I've said before, poor buffing, overspray onto windows and wheels is the main problem that I see

The market, with dr duco, scratch busters, duco magic, prestige spectrum etc etc is so tight you cannot afford to do bad work
Work for dealerships though , allows for average work
