So about 2 hours ago as i was using my da orbital polisher my Neighbor across the street told me he had a new flex polisher if i needed to remove any scratches so as i got to talking i agreed to let him try it on a scratch i had one the roof. The scratch was about 3 inches long on the drivers side right above the rear door. So we get started and all seems well, scratch starts coming out, and we keep stopping to check to see the progress. We almost get it out and my wife calls me in to help with my son, so i go inside for literally two mintues and when i come back out, my neighbor is standing there shaking his head, i ask him whats wrong? And he says " i think i burned through your paint man" , i say "WHAT!?!" And walk over and sure enough, this guy burned a 3 inch circle into my roof. I just looked at him and he said "im sorry man, my brother in law works at a paint shop.." and i go " wtf, im going to a meet on Thursday ". Well we made plans to have it fixed next week at the maaco that his brother in law works at, as for Louisville, im going to have burnt paint. Unbelievable guys, all day working on it...

Noooo :( I don't even own a Marauder (yet) and I feel the pain emanating from you. Wishin you the best of luck in gettin that paint done the way you need it. At least you'll be surrounded by people in KY that can sympathize with you.

Sorry to hear. Is the flex polisher a random orbital?

Sorry to hear about the sudden and unexpected passing of your neighbor. :( Too bad you'll miss the funeral while you are in KY. ;)

That just sucks! I can't even imagine what you were thinking when you saw it. At least he's gonna have it painted. After all the work I've been putting into my MM, I think I possibly might have cried. See you in Louisville.

Wait!....let me get this straight......

Your neighbor is still ALIVE!?!?

You, my friend are a very cool, calm and collected man.

I would have been arrested...... and the medics would still be trying to unwedge the orbital buffer from said neighbor's azz.

Sorry to hear that the tard wasted your paint.

Hes already getting me a $150 discount, and hes flat broke. My bill unfortunately.

May I state the obvious?

Your neighbor is a fooking idiot. His broke a$$ should not have touched anything. I would still make him pay and say he got himself a $150 discount.

This really sucks....can't imagine how you feel.

BUT, Ryan did make a good point. :D

Maaco has top notch paint booths, due to buying power. Most small shop can not afford to spent the money for a top notch paint booth. It's prep work, that were most Maaco's take short cuts.
