A few years ago a girl I was dating asked me if I would think about painting her fathers car. It was just an 86 Monte Carlo but he loved it and wanted it painted so bad he could taste it, but didn't make much money. I agreed to look at it...looked like a sand and paint so I agreed. He never told me he had spray painted it with KRYLON spray paint a year or two before....I had to take the damn thing almost to bare metal.Then he wanted it a different color so that meant a complete tear down...He paid for some of the supplies as he went( I ran a ticket at the store) He ended up giving me around $300 total.This didn't even buy the paint. It was indigo blue pearl base/clear. I used my own supplies and ended up stuck with a $200 bill at the paint store. I worked on that turd for 3 months solid. He never did pay me what he promised or even the rest of the materials cost but it felt kinda good to see his face when he picked it up.
