i just got a bumper painted yesterday from a guy's friend on a local forum. i had read a lot of good things about his friend's work so i decided to try him (re-painting a messed up bumper)

because the guy was doing it on the side, he couldn't really disclose where he worked... so i can't just drop by to look.

how do you tell the difference between a paintjob that uses 3 separate sprays of primer/paint/clear vs those mixed all in one ones? how many days should i wait to check for things like orange peel/spiderwebbing and stuff? how else do you check for the quality of the paintjob?

he's done a lot of work for members on that forum but they were all recently done so i have no idea of the long term quality.. so i just wanted to make sure he does gd work before i bring my celi to him

thnx

Overspray can be avoided if you ever sprayed in your life. If there is overspray, have him sand it down and start over
