10 month paint job

Welcome to the "My friend is painting my car hell"..........
Been there, done that ......... never again.

You think your doing good by paying up front........bad idea.
Your money is spent and there is always "just one more paying quicky" to get done then back to yours......
Off the street customers and insurance companies do not pay up front, so why should you?
Best to wave the money in their face and hold it all until the end.

Keep them hungry.
