    I didnt say the ten members were present for your grille, I was referring to the grey grille pictured above. From the two pictures you sent me, it seemed like smudges on the black inner grille, which can be easily touched up with generic black rattle can, which is what I used. I didnt think it was all the necessary to be sent back, as that would take more time and money. The over-spray in the corner is unfortunate and I apologize for that, but that black is on top of the clear coat over the silver, and i've been able to remove past over sprays with some sort of thinner. Today is the first time i ever heard you mention paint running in the corner, so I am confused about that allegation? Im looking forward to the pictures :thumbsup:

    ok, i just sent you a pic to your email and i will get more pics of the other side as its the same...people are paying you to do these grills....why should they have to retouch anything once they receive them? they should not! if you inspect your work you should have seen these imperfections...this is not allegations...its the truth!

    I can vouch for Aaron that he triple checks his work and is careful about it all. He personally didn't do mine but I have seen how he is with these things. Aaron does excellent work :thumbsup:

    I see what you're talking about, those little blobby things are actually fiberglass resin running through the masking tape prior to painting, not paint. They are transparent and hard to see unless you paint over them, but Im surprised and regretful that i didnt notice them before shipping your grille back to you. If you really wish, i'd be more than happy to fix those areas for free if you ship your grille back to me :notsure:

    i just paid for it to be done right.....this stuff is very noticable and i believe if you had looked at it before shipping it back you would have seen it...me paying to ship it again after it not being right is unacceptable.
