Paint Job blues

Don't rush paint prep. Ever. If you've got a deadline, you will have problems later. If you've got chips or other problems, STOP and fix it. When I paint cars, I go through a sheet of 1000 and about 3 tac cloths when I'm in the booth, making sure things are super clean and flat.

I think you can go over the said problem areas with some open blends, then sanded and polished in without any serious issues. The damage should be sanded out, primed, based, cleared and blended.

Paint chips on non-metallic colors can be fixed with 1000 sanding the surrounding area, 600 on the chip, glaze, sand the glaze putty with 800, paint with touch up brush, sand again with 1500 and repeat until you get full color coverage that is completely flat after sanding, clear with a touch up brush over the smal base area, let dry, sand again with 1500 then 2000 and micro polish. On an edge of a panel, you can feather out a chip ok and do the same thing without glaze.

I think these guys had in mind that they needed to get you the truck before a certain date and had to skip on some things that typically take more time to deal with.

This thing looks like it was scuffed and shot. I don't trust aftermarket paint to stick as much as others and prefer a 600 grit cut on a complete.

I'm sure they will stand by their work. Live and learn, you know?
