Who said anything about standing over their shoulder? Not me. However, if the painter has some problem with me stopping by to check on progress maybe once or twice, the he can walk. Seriously, there's a dozen others who would gladly take their place.

I have had my car painted at a few places over the years, and nobody's given me a problem with my requests.

And as far as cost, when it comes to getting it done right/the way i want it, then if it costs more - so be it.




ok so now your telling me that you would choose a painter let him prep your car their way ,then you stop by and tell him how to prep your car while he is in the middle of the work...ok...that's like someone coming in to your job who has never done your job before then telling you how to do things,but that would be ok with you i guess...

stopping by and checking progress is one thing,but stopping by to check progress and then telling them what to do is another...when you choose a painter you choose them on how good they are at what they do,or you wouldn't choose them in the first place....painters are weird and do things they way they do things...if they have been painting for awhile then they have their own way of doing things and that's how they work...sure you are the customer,but you wouldn't choose someone to paint if they didn't do good work,the thing is they do their good work the way they do it...sure they may say ok when you tell them to do it a certain way,but ultimately they will still do it their way when you are not there.....
