    paint job

    The guy whos painting my car called me up to go to the shop to see how the car is turning out,,, but i see the paint to glossy and is kinda sticky too, it's been like a week since the pieces i touched were painted. now my questions is, is that normal that i looks too glossy and it feels sticky? or the guy doesn't have any idea of what he's doing, i don't wanna find out i paid 2k for a bad paint job. ... also something else, he said that he's almost done with the body kit, it looks painted to me but it has little holes, he said that the paint gets warms and makes the holes after he covers them but, after all like he said he isn't done yet,, i'm f***ing desperate to get my car back, he's been having it for 4 week now.
    I'll appreciate if you guys give some comments.
    Thanks.

    there are pinholes in fiberglass that you are supposed to cover using bondo or something before you paint it.

    sounds, also, like he might not have put enough hardener in the paint. i know that happened with Derrick's fender, and it was sticky almost a month after it was painted because the paint never really set.

    I always thought that you added thinner to the base/paint. Then added hardener/activator to the clear coat? I'm probably wrong though.. lol
