And the show is this Saturday... there is no way in hell that car is going to be presentable by then, but I'm now beyond caring at this point. It's out of my hands, my shop's name isn't going on the car. I couldn't give 2 ****s what happens to that car from here on in.

fiero-silva you have to get more pics of what the owners "buddy" does to the car. All I can say if a man does that in paint then he isn't your buddy.

I skipped through the posts pretty quickly. Were you paid for the work you've done so far and is there a chance of any problems in the future with this guy coming back and accusing you of causing some of the problems?

How far do you finish the panels? If I am sending something for paint, I prefer for it to be strictly paint. I won't let them do anything else, no sanding , filling or even primer. You can't trust anyone but yourself nowadays.

We finished the panels to raw fiberglass. So pretty much no finishing. The owner INSISTED his buddy do ALL the finishing to save $$$.

I'd rather not go too far into details of payment, but we were paid for about 2/3rds of the work so far. He still owes us some money. I wouldn't doubt that we are going to have issues collecting the rest of our money.
