Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

The hood of death!



base clear good luck no way id paint an entire car single stage. I wouldnt be able to flash it right to get it to shine. Besides if your not happy with base clear just wetsand more.
 
I painted an entire car in a gravel driveway. The colour worked great. Clear was ok. I think it was my guns fault. It's not tricky. Just need space and time

DAMN, Thats a long time, i just picked up my mothers car from the body shop today, and i dropped it off on monday, she had all the door dings along the whole side of her car, fixed the dents and painted the whole side of the car, and replaced her d/s mirror. all for 850.00 cash. and 6 days.
 
I asked how the hood was coming and when I needed to bring the car by? and he replied with I’ll let you know when to stop by with the car to pre-fit the hood.
 
On top of what you payed for the hood... man, a new hood, plus shipping, plus paint, plus fitment, would've been cheaper.
 


so it dosen't look like it's going to be done this week meaning were looking at a month plus... I am so freaking annoyed about this I want to drive my freaking car again!
 
oh right, lack of hood lol

get to a junkyard but the cheapest damn hood you can find.. be ghetto for a while
 


I think this is my fault too because this is the email I sent him

Hey Tim, just checking in to see how the grand prix hood is coming along, Theres no rush or anything the car isn't my daily driver currently, and I can imagine with that hail storm a few weeks ago you guys are staying busy. So just get back to me when you can. Oh and the paint code for the car is U8554 I know you probally want to make sure everything fits on the car first but maybe you can order the paint before I drop the car off so its not taking up room sitting there, although you guys probally mix your own paint.

Thanks,
Cole Ewing


I was trying to be nice and polite because I know no one likes it when customers are all like wheres my sh*t at? Then heres the email I got back. At first I thought alright he will probably call me in a day or 2, but then I read the email again and realized he started out with "Thanks" which means hes thinking he has all the time in the world and I think he set the thing aside now and has put all other work ahead of mine. Argh!

Thanks, Cole

I’ll let you know when to stop by with the car to pre-fit the hood.

Tim


 
does this look ok for an email before I send it? I need input.

Just thought I would check in again, When are we looking at getting this thing finished end of next week? or later? Next Saturday is July 9th and I dropped the hood of on June 9th. I'm not in any real hurry just don't think a thousand plus dollars for that kind of turn around time is that great. If you could just give me a date it dosen't have to be exact but within a day or two. So I know when I need to bring the car in because I have other projects on it that need done, and I would like to know when I can start on them or need them finished by.

Thanks,
Cole Ewing
 
Screw saying your not in a hurry.
Change the line to read " I'm not trying to be a pain, I just don't think" … etc
