FWIW & IMHO:
No, that was sort of my error. The guy later explained that he worked in a shop, all he had to do was sand buy paint. I just have/had a hard time believing that a friend of his was going to do what would normally cost about $ 7K or so & upwards depending on locality for $ 1K even if they are friends. Through out the years hve seen a few, and very few, really show quality paint jobs turned out by a friend or such, but very seldom, and I look at a lot of paint jobs. I have to admit that I am afraid to buy anything that needs anything at all, but especially a paint job.
