So I just picked up my front and rear bumper from the paint shop. Now I just had my side skirts painted here and they came out perfect. No orange peel.

The painter is a friend of mine. So I get to the shop and look at the front bumper, Flawless. No orange peel. Job looks great. So we bubble wrap both bumpers and I pay and head home.

I get home and I look at the rear bumper. ORANGE PEEL every were. The entire rear bumper looks hideous. I text my friend and explain the issue. I bubble wrap it back up and head to the shop. Its only 15 min away. I get there and the owner explains they will need to wet sand and buff the entire bumper in two weeks at no charge.

Now I understand most jobs need to be sanded down and buffed but this orange peel is the worst I have EVER seen! WTH

Again, Front bumper looks PERFECT!

Rant over!
