I can't prove you wrong on this one since my time machine is broken.

Earlier you said the paint job would look like shit in 6 months.

I offered you a chance to put your money where your mouth is and bet you $100 it would look good in a year. You declined what you called my "petty" bet.

OK, sucker. How about we make it $500? You seem to think your prediction is a "sure thing." So how about? Don't tell me you can't use $500.

If you decline the $500 wager, it will be because your not sure of all the shit you've been slinging on here.

$500. Are you in or are you gonna fold? I love it. After you pay me the $500 you're gonna owe me, my paint job will have cost me a whole lot less. Perfect!!!
If you drive it to me and let my prep/paint crew look at it then it is on,.
like i said before i can find some thing wrong with it and point it out to you,
just like killer mike d said, we can find problems in any job,.....
WE DO THIS FOR A LIVING!!! what do you do? you can find issues with what you do i am sure,..
bring it to me and yes it will be $500 cash, i dont take no checks or plastic on bets,...
Let me know,.. You say you got a great job for about 750 when i tried to offer to meet their price at 1200, so you put up or shut up,...

So you want me to let your boys be the judge(s) of the paint job? Sure, sound fair to me.

Of course KillerMike and you are right in that no paint job is "perfect." I didn't say my paint job was perfect.

I said they did a real nice job and I got a hell of a deal for under $800.

So I say we find an honest, NEUTRAL car painter pro, who will make the call on whether or not it's a nice job and worth what I paid for it.

You sound like you want to do it soon. All the better. I offered to do it in a year to answer the durability question. How about $500 now and $500 in a year. It'll give you a chance to win your money back.

Of course, you'll lose again in a year's time. Man, it'll be sweet. I'll have actually made money on the damn paint job.

you said you had gotten just as good a job for 750 that some one would have charged 2000 for, i can bring up the post, and no, it will not be my guys giving the final, there are 3 other shops within 5 miles of me, and my bet is that i can find at least half a dozen in-perfections the job.

Please show me that post. There is no fuckin' way I said I got just as good a job for $750 that someone would charge $2000 for.

But I guess it does happen.

So I guess it's true that maybe I got a better paint job for $750 than I would have gotten at some other places for $2000.

But still, show me where I said it. You're dreamin' on that one, amigo. I didn;t say it.

-I highly doubt they primed this car entirely. it would be a complete waste of time. and for the price you paid its not worth for them to spend 2 hours priming it.

-They DID NOT polish this car either. so do not even lie. a proper wet sand and buff would be the only thing to do to a car after its painted that makes sense. and they DID NOT wet sand and buff. that's easily $200 extra at maaco. just polishing a freshly painted car makes no sense and is a waste of time.
Just another clown throwing a shitload of mud hoping something sticks. What bullshit.

The "A" in Toyota is not crooked. And you can't tell if it was wet sanded or buffed by looking at the pics.

I wish I took some picks of all that beaded up rain on the car yesterday.

Don't worry. kustomkars or whatever his name is, is going to tell me precisely what pictures he wants to see and how to take them.

Why don't you chime in after I post those pics?

Now take your "crooked A" on home and get some sleep. You need it.

this is some of my work, so you know this shop that is in the back i am no longer in, which did not have a true paint booth that i did these cars in.
i an in a new shop with a brand new col-met cross draft bake booth,
this booth cost $9500.00. do you think any of us are hurting for you $750 job??







no, there are many fish in the sea, we do not need pain in the ass customers like your self,.
that money is not worth your bitching thru the whole job..
i know you kind,
you are the one that is there every single day saying

"why is that dent not fixed,"

"why is it not covering so good"

"why is it not shinny"

all because you will never give it time to be "FINISHED"

you wont let us do the job the way it should be done,
you look at it in the mid stage and then bitch the rest of the way,
it is a process, it will not look good one week into a two or three week job.


a good long lasting paint and body job takes time,
you wanted it done that week,

you will see next time that the people that you asked their professional advice were wright, even if you do not like what i have to say, listen to the other people and their knowledge.....

I'm so impressed. How were you drying them before? I know, you just sat next to the cars and blew a shitload of your hot air on them. You wasted your money on the booth.

Man, what are you talking about? All that comes out of you is BULSHIT! I spent time there, yeah. I watched and learned. Since I didn't know anything, I never criticized anything. I watched, asked questions and learned. This is how I know you are full of crap. Before I went there, I only suspected it. Now I'm sure!

And I didn't piss anybody off. As a matter of fact, I'm having beers and watching football at a local watering hole tomorrow with a couple of the guys that work there.

You is nuts, baby.

I'm starting to feel sorry for you. You sound like a little kid.

Oh yeah! Where is that quote I allegedly made about a $750 job and a $2000 job? You said you'd find it and post it. It doesn't exist, does it, junior? Just more bullshit from you!

You just make stuff up as you go along. And when I point it out, you get pissed and make up even more!

Sorry. I won't let you get away with all your lying. I'm having a blast exposing you for the bullshit artist you are.

If bullshit were car painting, you'd be fucking Picasso!

You need 3 fuckin' weeks to do a nice job on a car? Pathetic. I could do a better job than you in two weeks using an instruction book and the trail and error method!

NOW we're getting to the root of the problem, here. Ignorance and arrogance side-by-side. You, sir, have absolutely no idea what a paint job really entails. Sitting there in the waiting room and looking through the windows at the Maaco guys who were spraying your car does not qualify you to paint a car.

But by all means, since you're making bold statements like this..as you said..."Put up or shut up."
