Wondering what average times are to make a person desirable to a high pace body shop depending on the Job of course ...
This job below was put in primer in 4 hours .....is it a good job and was it done in a time frame that employer would find acceptable ?

Yes there was some deep scratches . The blend came out pretty decent I used a clear wet coat before I sprayed my base , it's the first time I have done the clear base before blending a metallic I like the visual it gives you ... Thank you for your input , when you leave off with the body work what's the last grit you use I Been getting mixed answers but I know some people have different techniques, cause the 2k primer can be used like a spray filler 4 -1 or 4-1-1 . Thanks buddy ..
