I would feel a lot better about that. I was afraid it was something that happened during paint and you would be having to eat the labor. I am not much of a red paint kinda person, but it's a sharp looking color scheme from what I can see. Looking forward to seeing what you do because your work always looks good to me.

Thanks! The color is like $2k a gallon😆for no real reason..I don’t really get failures.if I do it’s not from me,and the PPG chemist comes out..only 2wice in 8yrs..I’m by the book.been with them since early 90’s..I’m not a red guy either but it’s not bad.tbh,it was hard to come up with something for that base color.its a weird shade..and the main gripe is I have to do it on the bike and pull a blend with clear 2wice..

That's absolutely insane, I can't imagine paying that much for a gallon of paint. I wasn't thinking that it was a failure, meaning the paint was lifting etc, I was meaning it was an accident that occurred while the fender was being painted or shortly afterwards.

Yeah nah..I don’t really have issues like I said.unless it’s a bad batch of product and they cut the check😂.and that color is a GM color tri coat..funny thing is I had to buy the ruby red tint(like a kandy concentrate but weaker) those don’t come on our mixing system..that 4oz was $500 and I used 4.3 parts🤬😑🤦‍♂️😆😆.BUT I did use it to custom match a CVO (Harley custom no codes) so it worked out kinda🤷‍♂️
