Tony's car "Karma" has arrived

pete, not bad, you will have that fixed in no time.
by the looks, with some more prep and better taping, the old painter would of probably made the owner happy.
it is easy to paint a car assembled, but the job is not nearly as nice and detailed as when its blown apart for panel painting, which as you can see hear killed the other guy. man those spots probably look horrid with the shiny paint close by.
that door jamb made me dry heave

definitely looking forward to seeing progress on this one. Sucks it wasn't done right the first time and like mentioned already doesn't look like it would have taken much more time and effort to have had it done right.

in this particular case, will you still need to take the whole car apart and start over or is some things (the other painter did) thats salvageable?
Just curious.

This car will come completely apart and be prepped properly. Then it will be painted with the trunk and nose off the car in pieces. Then assembled.

Looks like it mostly fails in the details department.. much dirt in the paint? Fish eyes?

Gaps?

We need a report man! lol
