    I recently paid a buddy to do a paint correction and ceramic coat for the truck. During the time leading up we just referenced the procedure as “for the truck” without really narrowing anything down.

    They are now saying that the windows are not included in the coating “for the truck”..

    If you were the installer or the customer in this situation, would you consider the whole truck to include the windows?

    No, I would only consider it to be only where paint is... glass not included.

    I would consider "for the truck" to be the painted body and NOT the glass ( didn't even know that was a thing?)

    Pay your buddy extra for doing the windows if you want them done, and get him a 6 pack of his favorite beer for doing you a favor. Sorry if I sound salty, but if this guy is a buddy and not a random shop, you're being an entitled ass.


    I do IT stuff for my buddies all the time, and it ticks me off when I do someone a huge fucking favor, giving them the friends and family discount and sometimes free parts but they're like "but bro, this isn't good enough." Don't take advantage of someone's kindness, or they won't do you favors anymore.

    Of course not. The unswept parts of the rotors and the calipers. Shed that disc brake dust.

    Ok. Thank you to the people who just have me the simple answer I was looking for.

    Why roast a thread when it was a simply question? If any of you jackaroos were speaking about a situation you actually knew about, you would know I am asking ‘prior’ to clearing it up with my buddy. I’m new to getting this stuff and not a flippin guru at everything.

    That being said, instead of insinuating or assuming the situation and that I was ‘expecting’ and begging him to do this, why don’t you guys go comment on a thread you DO know about?

    Maybe the Tiny Dicks, Big Egos page?
