I was hired by a local Ford dealership to paint correct a vehicle that I previously did some spot work on. The owner my client Matt was in an accident (not his fault) and took the vehicle into get repaired by them and unfortunately when the job was done there was allot of correction work and cleaning up that needed to be done on the interior due to paint dust and paint itself getting all over the interior surfaces. Total time worked 41.75 hours.
