true.
i do most of my prep work and take it as a rubbed back roller into a spray painter because he has the spray booth and the PPE to use the Cyanide based 2PAK primer / fillers.
i ask him to flick 1 litre of black acyrlic down the beauty lines and then take it home and rub out all the imperfections.
then i take it back and get him to paint the bolts, inner door jams, inner doors, cowl etc and another 1.2 litre of black down the sides again
i take it home again and assemble and hang all panels

then i take it back and get final coat.

no chips from hanging panels

ok i have taken it to him 3 times, but the spray painter treats it like a job, not a job on the backburner
and its a quick turn around cause he wants it out of the spray booth and you book it into his spray booth in advance.

if you don't spoon feed these spraypainters and make it easy for them it won't get done, or it will get done and cost the earth

my cost normally $3000 this way
