Just like body work...
The prep work makes the paint job.
You could have the best painter in the world, but if the prep work is horrible, his work will look horrible.
Thats one reasion why the guy who painte dmy car went to work for himself. He was the painter, but they had others doing the body work. Because painting was the last step of the rebuild or what ever, he got blamed for how it turned out. He said enough was enough and opened his own business.
I did all the prep work on my entire call so when he got it, all he had to do was wipe it down and mask it off and shoot it. he complemented me on the work, and i complemented him on his. He asked why I didn't paint it, as he knows I have all the equipment to do it, and I told him, cause if you don't paint a car all the time, getting back into doing it makes you make mistakes. Runs, missed spots etc. I said for THIS car, its worth it to have you do it cause I wanted it done right. It was well worth the money spent.
