aterials quality influences both their durability, and convenience of work with them. Qualitative putty is laid down smoothly, quickly dries up, gets easily sanded and won’t subsequently exfoliate together with a ground and a paint.

Professional paint when used skillfully does not leave runs and wavy stains. But these are foreground layers which are very easy to estimate visually. The background layers are like underwear — they remain hidden and can deliver many problems later on.

All process consists of several stages. First the earlier sanded surface is puttied with the use of an epoxy liquid with fiber glass. Then the surface is processed with the simple dry putty. And right at the end — with liquid putty.

All layers get dried and smoothed out by the sand-paper #100 attached to a long section to reach as much equal plane of a surface as possible.

Time is being saved by this part to make the whole process run faster. And a moisture in a body is absolutely superfluous component. So in this case the client can hope only for conscience of the workman.

Separately I'd pay your attention to a rear rubber spoiler. Regardless of all canons of technologies of painting flexible surfaces, the soft rubber spoiler of a car has been painted the same color as body in an absolutely simple way, without addition of softeners or use of any rigid first coat or putty.

I guess, in a month after this kind of painting an owner most likely has been strongly surprised by thin cracks on a whole spoiler surface.

I've asked the serviceman to try to clean out paint and not having the spoiler damaged at the same time. Theoretically there is a chance to order a new one (#51711879597). It costs approximately 220 $.

The next stage is complete. There's a photogallery of latest pictures on the next page.
