Thats what happens when you go the extra mile, they whinge anyway. But the same person would probably except a pealy miss matched gritty mess from a "real" shop and not say a word.

You've probably done a better job than ex factory. It would've been good if he'd priced it at paintshops then gone to you. He wouldn't be moaning.

Crikey.!
What are you going to do to keep the nutcase happy!
What did you charge!. Don't be embarrassed if it's too cheap. At least you are still working making a living. Every bit of non-benefit money helps to keep the country tick along.
We would charge about 6 grand for a job like that.

agree, a mate of mine is in the same boat. Putting in shitloads of extra labour to get a great job (done 3 of our cars & we're happy enough to line up another 2) for a very reasonable price yet homos bitch a moan eventhough any issues arise from previous repairs, yet wouldnt say boo if it rolled out of a panel shop looking like crap
Theres a two word phrase this chappy needs to be told. I cant say it on here as its a public show. In fact theres several two word phrases that would suit.Hope that didnt include paint!

superb job, some people don't feel that they get value for money unless they bitch and moan about some little thing, it happens in all trades.

Hope you dont have a wife and 3 kids to support or any other adictive habit cause ya aint gunna be able to on that rate lol. Geez a K would hardly get a motorbike painted in a shop these days let alone a large arse yank truck.

Nah mate, i paint because after nearly 30 years i actually still enjoy it (but people like this are starting to suck the fun outa it LOL)
My other half earns very good $ and she allows me to do these jobs and i love her for it, but even she's a bit annoyed at this one.

I've been telling people about this job and how flimming good it is. I'm with jmma, spay some flat black and put some flames back on. Good luck with it

The thing is that the rest is so good, and he feels he can moan because 1 or 2 parts are not so good. Human nature. Next time charge more.

He done the whole truck for a small G. 4G for that job (complete paint) is still pretty darn cheap

$1000 dollars is the bargain of the century for the customer.
What paint system did you use!
And the cheeky bugger needs to realise that the flat back and cut and polish you done, could cost more than $1000 in itself.
