It's a vinyl & fabric spray brand, but lets' get off that topic. I still haven't got my car back out of the shop. Me & my boy crept up on my paint & body guy yesterday morning at the shop to see the progress of my car. I dropped it off there on monday for a touch-up, buff, & detail. He told me wednesday my car would be done, but it turned out not to be that way. Then he said thursday, the same thing happened. Friday morning rolled around, so I decided to call him up in the morning & he rushes me off the phone saying he's painting my car right now. I said in my head ok coo it should be done tomorrow if that's the case. So yesterday me & my boy rolled up on him unexpectedly to check the progress & guess what...he was working on another car & mine was to the side in the shop covered with plastic, plus was in the SAME condition I left it there in To make things worse he lied about buying paint which he didn't even make the effort to get. Lying is a no- no & he lost me as a customer unless it's something that could be done in a day like a spoiler or something similar.

isn't it better to try and Dye the carpet black rather than spray it out of a can?

interesting way. but all the work of prep. you could taken off the bumpers way faster than using all those materials.

Yeh that's his way of prepping lol that's not me in the pic that's Marlon my paint guy. I trust his work though...I've dealt with him for the past couple years. I just let him do his job even though this has been the longest he's kept one of my cars. Plus I think another prob he was having was with my car being lowered hopefully tomorrow he'll be done

Man make sure he covers every bumper hole from the inside otherwise you're gonna have overspray everywhere.
