I got nothing but love for everyone on this forum. No need to bash anyone for their own ideas. You do good work and are doing great things with your SC. I appreciate someone who does that and I hope everything works out with no problems. The paint looks real good....can't wait for the photoshoot of this beast!!!!

there isnt anything wrong with the way hes having his car painted. it saves labor and if you are good at taping you cant tell the parts were not removed.

the edges can chip A LOT easier since it was just taped off. and i bet he has a helluvalot of overspray all over his trunk/hood/etc weather stripping. it doesnt take long to remove bumpers and paint them separately and remove the headlights and taillights to paint the body. cmon.. they even taped off his grille.. with the amount of time it took to properly and carefully tape off things they could have just removed them. im not hating, because the paint quality looks good. just saying it may not last as long as he might think it will. but then again i have no idea how much he paid for the work.. just hope it wasnt a lot.
