Blowing Up
20 years old, doing my second big paint job on a race car. It was a 3 day project, painting a front grill and chrome accents on a stingray style body on a drag car. This thing is gorgeous when it’s done.
Guy clears it, then claims he wasn’t happy with the final product (my work, not the clear) and says he won’t pay me the $500 he owes me.
He cleared it already so I couldn’t even have a chance to fix it. As this guy was an ex marine and my boss’s friend, I wasn’t going to push it too hard.
I was bummed, chalked it up to not getting paid up front and don’t give anyone leeway. Two days later when he takes it to race and he blows up the whole engine, costing him over $10,000.
