Re: Working Man's Burbon

And that luck keeps holding. Thursday the wheel shop called and said they finished the repairs but "The clear coat reacted with the existing paint on the wheel". After seeing the wheel I don't believe that. They had tint in the clear or used a dirty paint cup when they shot the clear. I've never seen such perfectly even blemish free paint reaction. The wheel is now kinda golden bronze colored.
To fix this I had to bring a front wheel in so they can remove the paint on both and try to match the color and then re-coated both wheels. That way if it doesn't come out perfect at least I will have two wheels that match on each side.
The upside is the repairs to the gouges came out really nice but, why is it always so hard.
