    Do they use POR15? Did they object to using it? Some places won't use anything except what they use, for these reasons.
    I have seen POR15 on several cars and I don't really like the glossy shine. It looks like it would peal just looking at it. I have seen the silver and it LOOKED ok.

    my ...rule-of-thumb...is.if they screwed it up when i paid them...what kind of job do i expect from them when i take it back and they do it for nothing...:huh:

    here is what i did today...scraped off the undercoating, sanded the rusty floorpans, washed everything down with grease and oil remover and painted it...simi gloss black. it will flatten out a little more. is's a little shiny now.

    ...:whew:...

    Looks good Frank. Have you thought about mopping on bed liner to help kill road noise?
