Painting advice

[Ben Fenner]

More on my brother's car. It was painted just before he bought it. We 
had no idea how it looked before we won the auction on eBay.

It's a black car, so there are many black plastic bits that should just 
be black plastic, like the door handles, and the rear view mirrors. They 
painted all of those. The worst overspray being towards the bottom of 
the car on the side skirts where the paint all flowed to, and where they 
didn't wash the car properly, so their is dirt under the paint. Also, 
they removed the lettering on the trunk before painting, but did not get 
rid of the residue, so they put the letters back on, but you can see 
where they've painted over the residue. Also, they put the "S" "E" and 
"R" from SE-R in the word "SENTRA" on the left of the trunk lid, and 
vice versa. It looks idiotic, as the letters of clearly of different sizes.

I just want you to know what you're getting into if you hand your car 
over for a $150 paint job without doing all of the prep and masking 
yourself.
