i'm sure you guys would paint over bubbling and cracked paint.

maybe it's fine for your cars, but not mine. i'm not going to ham and egg it just to have to do it all over again in a year. if that makes me anal, so be it.
and i'd like the name and number of a reputable shop that will completely hand strip (no chemicals), repair, and repaint for less than $350.
whatever. it's done. the long and short of it is it's not as he described it. and now it's costing me substantially more than it should have. these are hard facts. everything else is opinion and conjecture.
