BigOso Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 but if you read the thread it says anything will mark the paint and it has to be painted every year.

jokanate88 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 See thats exactly why i buy the paint first then find a trustworthy paint shop that you know wont pull shit on you like that. I had no troubles getting my Caprice clear coated and Kandy painted. Yea it costed me like $4,500 for the whole job but it was worth every dollar!!! But yea you got bullshitted on by whoever that guy was. Quote ACT YOUR AGE AND NOT YOUR SHOE SIZE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
