I have been to a few shops that were just about as dirty, which isn't really that much trash. Just masking paper in a few places. Strickland was really clean but I hear their paint jobs suck. As long as the paint booth is clean it doesn't really matter. I don't work all day anymore so we can't keep it spotless like we use to.

Idk lol but I think it will be painted tomorrow so I will get some pics for y'all. This thing is friggen hard to drive because the clutch is like a damn pogo stick. That would get old quick especially in traffic. I love my aftermarket clutch lol.

Maybe some people don't want to spend $10,000 for a paint job. That doesn't make it a bad shop. Go look at those shops and see how busy they are.
If you want a better job, expect to pay more. That's how it works anywhere. Apparently he didn't want an all out paint job. I guess you could brag to your friends that the inside of your fender is painted but no one will ever know. If you tell boss tho he will gladly do whatever you want. We've painted cars completely inside, out and underneath before, just costs a little more money.

Hey Novacaine, Take a look at post #7. Removing the weather stripping does not constitute taking the car apart.
Guess you failed to read the entire thread or maybe you had trouble "comprehending" it.

I've learned through my time that the saying "don't judge a book by it's cover" really holds true. The best people who go out on their own still have to start somewhere, so if you want to hate on a guy for how his shop looks and not based on the quality of his work, I wonder why you don't get all your work done at the local dealership.

I know y'all aren't going to believe this but the car actually looks really good, a completely different green than what I had in my head.
