I really don`t know what their deal is, but it`s been a long time since I`ve seen a repair/repaint that wasn`t riddled with buffer swirls. In fact, my last 3 clients that have had work done have all received miserable jobs (finish-wise)...and all three were from different body shops. And I just saw Scottwax`s post of the black dodge with buffer halograms, which inspired this post.
Yesterday I went and saw a client that had work done by a body shop I had recommended (won`t do that again), and the buffer halograms were rampant. The worst thing is that it is a light green/blue 740 - easy. I laugh now because this shop had hired me to do a couple special vehicles (wet sand and buff two complete repaints (both black)) when I first moved here...both took me ALL DAY. I`m guessing the reason they haven`t had me do any more side work is because they feel I take too long. But I now know what kind of finish work leaves that shop otherwise :soscared:
Following day`s detail (yesterday)... same thing - a few pannels had buffer swirls all over, only this time she`d used a body shop I hadn`t head of before. And it was gold...maybe a difficult color to match, but easy as pie to finish swirl-free on.
