I was contacted by a fellow member from a s2000 forum that im active in, to do a potential 1 step on the exterior paint, i quoted him blindly without looking at the car. After meeting him and looking at the car a little closer the car definitely required a 2 step. But after taking a couple measurements of the paint some areas wasnt healthy enough to compound the low Clear coat areas.

The owner was ver pleased and so was I seeing his reaction and the sincerity in his voice made this 10 hour correction job all worth it. While i was waiting for him to pick it up I worked on the interior a bit and dressed up his engine, threw it in since i was bored and had extra time lol
enjoy and thanx for watching :tipwink:

Sometimes those long details are stressful, until we see the expression of satisfaction on the owners face. Good job!!:dblthumb2:

I really hope you're not serious. If so, get your eyes checked.

It's funny, I was looking at your before pictures and thinking to myself what a great color that car is.

Then I saw the after pictures and I'm blown away by how great that car looks. You took a really awesome looking car and made it so much better. Nice work!!

i initially quoted him 160 and bumped it up to 240 since i never looked at the car in person. He ended up tipping me too.

I really hope you're not serious. If so, get your eyes checked.
