I did believe me I did.
All I go was excuses and I'm not alone.
Here is another person that got ripped off and told me:

Let me guess. Brandon did your painting?
He did my car too and I was expecting more professionalism.
I have many flaws and over sprays too. He charged me exta to pain the valences and rockers and do a rub-out (which left all my rubber pink stained.)
Mark needs to distance himself from this guy.
When I picked up my car from Mark (never actually met Brandon in person), he was making excuses for the guy's half-assed work. If I wanted Earl Scheib quality, I would have gone to Earl Scheib and paid less!
Someone paid him 20K to do a ground-up Jag and now he thinks his :stromberg: don't stink.

Trust me we aren't alone.... several other club members have had unfavorable experiences.
Maybe we're all had unrealistic expectations 
Mark drummed up business for Brandon.
Brandon didn't even meet me at the delivery, nor was he there for the pick up.
Brandon did a half-assed job (aka the amount of effort he felt the nominal amount of money was worth) and left Mark to defend his work.
I couldn't believe Mark even started to explain the imperfection I was inspecting when I picked up the car ?! Oh that's a fish-eye, it happens when... Then my dad (who was helping with the pick-up) said to let it go. (To him, it is a great cheap paint job).
But still.... I didn't expect fish-eyes and bubbles and pink rub-out residue on my rubber and in all the cracks.
And I figured when I asked for fresh top coat it included the rockers and valences. Not to mention some professional pride in the effort...
For $1,000 more I could have gotten someone closer to do the work that cared more about the finish. Live and learn, Brother! You get what you pay for most of the time....
