Sorry to see you've had a bad job done , send it to Dan , he will sort it, could be worse and be powdered, at least it comes off easy.

Looks like the free help did it for them!

If you are in London or the South/South East, we can highly recommend SuperbikeDan for the job, Alan's in the Northwest has started a service too  :daumenhoch:

Wow. That's a lot of runs. If I was the painter there's no way I'd hand it over looking like that. Pride and rep wouldn't let me.
