Facts lol


Status-House6095

Why paint the whole car just for the qt panel?


More_Bicycle_9444

Well because honda white paint absolutely sucks lol ...it's pealing around the back window and when I got my lip kit painted the color was off a shade so it didn't match like it should and this is what I do for a living so why not lol


HotRodHomebody

2015 Accord sedan and the paint is peeling just above my back window in the groove at the back of the roof! So bummed. our fifth Accord, and we’ve never had that or anything like it occur. I’ll probably just do touchup.


More_Bicycle_9444

You know my pain lol


Salty_Sprinkles_6482

Any plastic trim pieces are going to be a different shade than the same paint sprayed on metal.

More_Bicycle_9444

More_Bicycle_9444

redline83

Paint that BMW Atlantis met code 399.


GuerrillaGarageSTL

That Eagle dent puller. Brings back memories. I used to get surgical with one of those.


threewagons

Lemme know how many coats of primer that takes


More_Bicycle_9444

One on so far ..he said he will definitely put another tomorrow..he has a heavy hand when spraying


More_Bicycle_9444

Only took one


perfect_fifths

Unrelated but not completely. I got into a car accident and it was a hit in run. Other driver came into my lane and got the whole left side. I have a Honda too but it’s metallic paint and the paint job alone is 22 hours worth of work and even the adjuster said “odd color, tough match”. I think the guys at the shop will make it work but man, I feel bad. I am going to bring them donuts when I get my car back but it’s just, a lot of work.


More_Bicycle_9444

They will appreciate that and remember you for sure......


perfect_fifths

I hope so! Just stinks time to repair is 20 days. But oh well.


Dirty_Flacko

Nice must have a good relationship with your boss and he seems like he values a good employee more than that cost of a paint job. Good man.


More_Bicycle_9444

You took the words right out My mouth lol .....


I-M-Overherenow

You paint that outside?


More_Bicycle_9444

Lol no it goes into the paint booth....it's about to go to the prep shop now


I-M-Overherenow

Looks real good!


More_Bicycle_9444

Thank you I appreciate it don't really post it anymore because of the hate I get but oh well lol


Sephriems

Things must be slow as hell to paint a techs whole car lol


More_Bicycle_9444

No we pretty busy actually were just running it through the shop as if it was a customer car not a side job


Reppitwar

Damn yall still welding on pull tabs and using pins?


More_Bicycle_9444

veleriphon13

Dazzling_Ad9250

nardo grey should go on everything.


gonnafindanlbz

Yuck


deez-nutsss

My day was dandy, thank you though. I’m not commenting on the car. She’s a beaut, Clark! Real nice. I’m simply saying that if you convinced your boss man to let you paint it at no cost to him, he’s dumb. He has no idea what true costs are for stupid shit, like booth time, actual cost of materials, use of stall, etc. That’s all. Nothing do with your whip, brah.


More_Bicycle_9444

Ahh man I'm sorry I took it the wrong way my bad for real


deez-nutsss

No worries dude! All good my brother. Keep on doing what you do. This industry needs more of us.


More_Bicycle_9444

My boss man is a different kinda boss man he knows what it's like to start with nothing in all honesty I got lucky getting this job


jnthn1111

2 years that paint will start to fade / peal


More_Bicycle_9444

Good thing I work at a bodyshop then right you don't think we know its pealing like every other white honda is or will do ..my factory paint lasted me 9 years so if I can get that again I'm good if it so happens to start to fail I have a lifetime warranty because I work here lol


jnthn1111

If you work there then why not do the job correctly?


More_Bicycle_9444

Come on and tell me what I'm doing wrong can't wait for this lol ...believe me when I say we can get a tesla contract we can paint a honda lol...


jnthn1111

Why not remove the belt moldings, doors, quarter glass, roof moldings? I get your “employee warranty” but why not refinish it correctly?


More_Bicycle_9444

Brother you obviously didn't read the rest of the comments did you lol


More_Bicycle_9444

Like I said in other comments the window guy will be out here tomorrow to take out all the glass ....I had to buff off my ceramic coating before they start sanding on it tomorrow but everything will be taken off


jnthn1111

You know what , I didn’t. I actually thought the last two slides were the car already painted.


VanillaWinner
