Yeah, they did a great job...if they are 10 year old children. When I pay for a "professional" job, I expect much better.

Sorry, but if you can't see that, you're friggin blind. Those lines are absolutely horrid.

Compared to the first job, the lines look less clean. Even the RSR wheels show problems with the lines btw.
I was considering a paint job too, once...but my paint shop guys warned me, that curves are extremely troublesome to paint and one might notice irregularities.
That is what happened here, they painted the grooves. They should have set the line a little above it. I guess that is why Otto Fuchs' wheels aren't painted all the way to the bottom...there are no sharp edges.
And yes...sometimes I really feel friggin' blind, sucks...but meh. Good excuse when you're old

I suppose you could ask them to re-re-do. Perhaps an 1/8" above bottom? Either way, I like the second attempt better than the "top only", even though that version had cleaner lines. Painting deeper gives more depth, but maybe that's just me...

I agree with you should be a proffesional job! I think they were maybe a bit upset, and didnt did a rush job on them second round. Its not impossible to tape em, but time consuming and figgity. I know I grew up in a body shop and worked in one for 5 years before the military.

You shoukd insist on a quality job.
