It's a bit unconventional, I suppose...
I painted my Nova in my garage 2 weeks ago.
I would up with some Orange dust specs over the black paint in my clear that won't sand out, and a few spots where 2 coats didn't cover enough. I need to re-apply 2 coats of base and 3 of clear, to everything except the door jambs... but even those could get another coat if it made it easier. I've got the clearcoat sanded with 600, no runs, or anything like that are left. I did burn through in one quarter sized spot and along an edge, but nowhere else.
I've called a number of shops in the area, not the big production shops but smaller ones that seem to cater to custom jobs.
They all say they want nothing to do with this job.
What is scaring people off? Are they worried about whatever I did before peeling off?
Are they worried that I missed a spot sanding? I've made it clear that I'm not opposed to them spending some time on that to make sure the prep is right, I'm not in a hurry and I'm not looking to be a cheap skate... I just need a clean, well lit place for someone who knows how to lay clearcoat to do it.
Are there some codewords I need to use or avoid?
no one has said it's because of COVID, so I don't think that's it.
I'd appreciate some insight!
Thanks
