[QUOTE="Farmacist, post: 6096421, member: 604203"] well I got my cap back and I have mixed feeling about it. I got it painted at Macco, and when I first looked at it it looked great, but that was inside a dim lighted garage. It's when I got back to my house that I noticed how crappy of a job they did on one side. It seriously looks like they didn't prime or scuff it enough, because I can see sanding trails through the paint and there's one particular part of the cap that had a fist sized paint chip on it before they painted, and its clearly showing through the paint. I didnt think I had to worry about that but I guess I was wrong. I'm really not a picky guy, I mean I can understand a few little imperfections here and there, but when its to the point that I think I could have done a better job myself with a store bought car spray paint its pretty bad. It wasn't a cheap paint job either, $230 for a cap is a lot when you can get a whole car painted for just a little more(depending on the size). I've gone to that same place before and they did a great job when they painted my car, and even then the car had worse paint chips on it before it was painted and they fixed them right up. . Here's some pics of the cap right now, I cant really get a good shot at what I'm talking about because it just started to rain, but here's what it looks like on the truck anyway......
