Hi all,
One day in the future my car will come out of the paint shop…one day…
On that day I’m wondering what should my check-list should look like.
So..What I’m asking here is what should I be aware of, double-check or ask before it gets out of the shop.
Calling on your experience, good or bad.
TIA

Align the hood and the body and see if your stripes align.
Look for runs in the base and/or clear coat.
Look for imperfections in the clear coat.
Look for print through of the body seams.
Look for the vertical straightness of the cove paint.
Look for completion of the paint on the lower part of the body.

I’m sure others will chime in.

Good luck

John
