Wash hands before body work. Make sure you don't have an oiler on your compressor and drain the air compressor tank of collected moisture regularily. If you are painting a fender or door, clean the underside or inside of the door out too.
I used to work on Harley-Davidson's for years and did a lot of painting too. I hated to see the bargain painters jobs come back for me to install them back on the customers bikes. I remember paint jobs comming back with the dirt on the underside of the fenders and tanks that they left the shop with, and the edges of the fenders unpainted.
I took the time to paint my own bike in the garage and when one of those customers came in while I was assembling it he asked who did it for me. When I told him that I did it and to take a look under the fender to see that the edges were painted and see that I took the time to paint the underside also, He wanted to pay me to repaint his two week paint job over again. I had to say no and told him if I did that he would pay dearly for it.
That is why some guys are so expensive too. They pay attention to details. | | |
