I understand the pain of Sriharsha on the paint job done by SS80.

But I feel @SS80 would be delivering some excellent re-painting jobs very soon and I suggest him to do all the experiment on his own possessions till he get used to the paint job. Keep going buddy, you will excel soon[:)]

This is exactly what i expect too.

If anybody else was in my place, i don't think this would have been let go of so easily. don't u think?
I agree with you completely, but since we all are friends on a forum and it made you to show such tolerance, but as I know Anand did some excellent DIYs earlier and might have not guessed this kind of end result on your DIO, however I wish he takes more care while attempting anything like this in future[:)]

Sri Harsha:
"Anand: Just a suggestion. Please ...........
But I, am really hurt.
Thanks"

I am equally disappointed by my work, not only you. The whole intention behind the painting works I do is neither money, nor fame and definitely not to hurt a good friend and auto enthusiast like you. I accept your feedback and will certainly work on improving my skills.

At times even seasoned painters/mechanics/ DIYers tend to do mistakes once in a while, some accept it, some dont, I accept it without a single word uttered. I never take up any job on any one's car or bike to experiment, I take up jobs only when I feel I can deliver what i promise, but this was a one off [frustration].

That is the wisest thing to do for any DIY guy. Isn't it?
The result was bad, I agree, but definitely it was not intentional.

What do you mean by the highlighted thing above? Do not type such lines about me. Your mockery about DIY/ DIYer is not required here.

I am deeply disappointed by the last comment you have made. You're my friend, you could have just dialed my number and told me what you felt and we could have worked a way out. I am surprised why have you been silent all this while? Am I that harsh/ hard to reach/ money minded?

I had plans to revisit your DIO to see if I could work on it one last time and fix it. In fact that is the only reason, I have been painting helmets and dooms only in black color ever since I messed up the DIO.

Sri Harsha:
I apologise for having hurt you. Please let me know if there is anything I could do so as to compensate for all the unintentional disappointment and loss I gave you.

So am I. I am really disappointed that i had to make such comments

I was not in a position to get it redone or ask you to redo it. I was not ready for any further errors that "might" have happened if the job was redone. and i surely am not a guy who will feel good accusing somebody of their work. i am not somebody who can just call up and tell the person, straight on the face that the work done is terrible. that is not my nature and i just can't do it. i talk only after i calm down completely and am sure that i can handle myself and my talks, which took some time till i saw the dio back to being normal.

Its all done now. Its good to have back a shiny black dio which wont be sold.
