I was contacted by an individual about removing some over spray. I said I was able to do it, and needed to see the vehicle to give a quote.
The vehicle was not his, it was a neighbor to his house, well, a house he rents out. Seems he was staining his fence with a sprayer. The wind kicked up, and that about sums up where I am going.
Went to look at the car, Silver in color, and went ready with clay and a few other things to do a test spot. Came up nicely with clay, so an appointment was set. Before I left, they asked, "what about the black car?" Seems both of the cars had over spray on them.... I told them I heard nothing about a black car, so I would have to contact the owner of the other property and ask.
I booked the black car as well. Finished up the Silver car, not a problem. Finished up the black car today...big problem. The overspray set so long on the paint, it actually 'baked' itself to the paint. Major pain to remove. I think I did almost 5 hours of claying.
Over spray on the paint, glass, trims, tires, rims, etc..... on both vehicles.
Both are done, finished, no more......or is there?????? LOL
Another guy came forward. He actually is the tenant renting the house where the fence was stained. His car is covered HORRIBLY! When looking at it from an angle, it looks like someone dumped a shaker of salt on the car. That is how rough it looked! This car is Green in color.
Here are a few pics of what I was up against...
Silver car... Only 2 pics. Camera died out.
Over spray is reddish in color...
Black Car....
bad paint. Car had some panels repainted. It had horrible primer over spray on it as well... hooray for me......
panel looks a different color from the angle I took the pic.
finished.... Clayed forever and topped with Meg's #66 w/orange LC pad.
Both cars were finished...finally!
