Hmm, it would seem you are far closer to the grim reaper than I then, if you have contact, never mind sight, of that particular door, see you later!...

Fuck all left to reply to, but I will ask this (yet again), Richard, how many years have/did you work in either crash repair or the vehicle refinishing trade?

From what "Richard H Huelin" has said so far, he only seem to be/have been a (rather pig ignorant) grease monkey.

Jerry the potty mouth resorting to foul language again, you really are a total dim-wit, I have already answered that once, before you asked it the first time and again after you asked it the second time. You can ask it again and again but the answer will remain the same, unlike you I have no need to make it up as I go.

There you go again with the wishful thinking letting that single brain cell of yours run riot. Have you thought of getting medical help with the incessant verbal diarrhoea that you suffer from?

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Jerry" saying something like:

Look, Jerry; slapping on a yard-brush coat of NATO Green does not count.

Priceless! Jerry, jerry, jerry - all that I've seen from you is repetition of others' work. The snappy original comeback soundly defeats you, as is right and proper for one of such dim wit as you. I shall call you 10Watter from now on. Actually, that's being too generous - a 10W CFL isn't really all that dim, so how about 2Watts.

Indeed. Jerry notwithstanding, I can recall numerous repair jobs (paid by the insurance companies) where the routine thing to do was blend in the new with the old, and not just lazily take the new up to a panel or seam and stop dead. It took a little extra time, but it was normal. Perhaps, the real problem now is the lack of pride and skill in painting, same as with many other trades, where a quick and dirty job can be got away with, as long as too many customers don't complain.

I'm sure you didn't intend to offend every single agricultural engineer in the country with that remark, but then what would a city raised grease monkey like you know about farming, apart from how to put green wellies on...

Insult all the painters at Rolls-Royce why not! Did you actually bother to read what you were replying to or did you fingers lead your brain cell again?...

Tell me Grimly, do you, would you, work for nothing (and in some cases pay to work on someone else vehicle), what do you not understand about the fact that repairers can only do what they are being paid for - pay peanuts get monkeys, that goes for insurance cover as much as the repairs.

This is exactly why the OP should have bought classic car insurance; old cars will get minimal repairs (or surcharges for "Betterment") assuming that they are not just written off, if the owner is lucky with the option to keep salvage.

I would have thought your statement about the finish expected was in excess of Rolls Royce, could be construed as an insult to Rolls Royce sprayers.

In my experience the actual paint finish at Rolls Royce could not be perfected any further.

I know it doesn't help the OP this time, but it may help other people reading this who may find themselves in the same situation to be more aware.
