Made it a lot more work for the shop. They'll charge you more for it now, if they'll even touch it.

^^ probably so. Why would you rattle can something like that? I know you were having "fun", but... That's a bad idea my friend. You know the body shop has to scuff that (because I bet you didn't) so that their paint has something to stick to. 6 months down the road and your paint is pealing off, who are you going to blame? Didn't you have something smaller, not on the car, to have "fun" with???

??

Lightbulb There’s...

a difference between doing it yourself…right, and just doing it. To each their own.
