I had a schedule to get my chipped windshield filled and the rough paint spot at the very edge of the hood fixed. The car was dropped off at the SC and they drop it off at the bodyshop within the area. I got the car back yesterday. Windshield chipped was filled. Bodyshop did an excellent job at fixing the rough paint spot at the edge of the hood. The job was so good, I couldn't even see it.
...Then I came home and saw this (pictures attached). It was not there before as I polished my hood by hand last week and knew every mm of it.. So someone, I'm assuming SC (as the bodyshop did a really good job on the paint fix of the rough spot), did a paint touchup on the hood. It looked like crap. I could have done better. I've done touch up on my bikes and this is what happens if you rush it or try to do everything at once. The trick is to put a thin layer, dry and repeat until you build it back up. Yes it is time consuming but a correct fix is not a quick fix. It looks like they just put a dap of paint on the spot and call it a day. What a joke.
So next time you take your car into a SC, if you see a bunch of young inexperienced folks working. Make sure they don't do any paint touchup themselves.
