[QUOTE="TheGovernment, post: 14699882, member: 164426"] At my shop, the customer gives attitude, we don't let them come back lol. I've flat out given a guy back his hotrod half done because he was being a bitch about stuff he had no idea about. He begged me to come back a week later and I charged his ass double hahaha He was happy as could be once it was done. As for mixing the paint, any idiot can mix paint, it's a scale with a countdown and gives you the pigments you need to mix and how much of each, a five year old can do it lol If the guy starts free handing it after he gets his base color, yes that take some skill and understanding about the color wheel but even that isn't always perfect when you get into a bunch of metallics and pearls. Blending would need to be done on adjacent panels, not the ones you'd be getting done (if the color was off enough for them to need to) Heck, I've had 20 year old cars have perfect matches before, you just never know. You car being Silver, you have a fairly good chance of it being decent enough. My advice to you is, if you think you're going to be anal about it, get them to make a few sprayout cards, either bring your car, or take them home with you can see which one you like best. Just ask them to get the cards that are double sized. Take your car outside in the sun and pic the best one. That will take the pressure off if you get to pick it yourself. I do that quite often, although I've had to Veto a few people as they were either color blind or flat out blind lol. [/QUOTE]
