Default Paint and body work

I don't know if this allowed to post so if it isn't, someone let me know and i will edit it out. Anyway, I cut a little too tight coming into my driveway and scraped the bottom of the rocker just behind the drivers door. It cracked the glass and made an ugly wound. I took it to RickCustoms in Orange California and he made like it never happened. He matched the pewter perfectly. No orange peel, no fisheye, no overspray on anything. He was fast, careful and and more than reasonable in price. I hope I never need a repair again, but he'll get my business if I do. If he gets a few vetts to work on, he may become a sponsor, who knows? Rod

I had the usual nicks and scratches on my rockers and got tired of looking at them. So I rubbed both down, primed and painted them then topped them off with clear; four coats. If I do say so myself, they look pretty darn good! Glad you got yours done successfully too.
