Presidential Detailed: Freshly painted EG, almost ruined by a hackjob.

Oh no ! - he is going BACK to the HACK ???

Oh boy, I would be really careful going back to the H/painter if I were the guy.
Do me this favor - ask the H/painter if he knows what a sword brush is - if he breaks eye contact, or thinks more than 1 second, run , run , as fast as you can from this place!! :) :) :)

Good luck with this.

Great job on that vehicle.
we should find the hack and beat him up!
Although i think your work on that car is actually worth more then the car itself or maybe he got you to detail it, so he can use it for the $4500 rebate...hehehehe

Haha! So since I am not a painter, is it ok I ask what a sword brush is? :) From the sound of it, maybe like a pinstriping brush?
 
Correct !! You win the prize !! :)

A camel hair Sword Brush is what painters use to fill in those pesky rock chips, etc., The tip after dipped in the appropriate thinner, reducer, etc., comes to a really fine point and allows you to put just enough paint in the spot to fill it. It is not as big or thick as a striping brush, but could be used to pull a nice straight line down the side of a car if you were a Von Dutch kind of artist, etc..

You can also use it to pull a line of paint down the edges where its gone, but this is really hard, since it has to match the outside or it will look like a line.

What you dont want to happen is to have the H/Painter blow paint all over the car again (overspray), and then you have to get it all off and ruin your great work. Hopefully he will have enough sense (?) to mask off the car correctly.

Good luck !
