CHEAP paint!

I want to let them know what a crappy job they did when it comes to paint

. I went on a long trip and taped the whole front of the car to "protect" the paint. When i got back, i took the tape off WITH the paint

My problem with the paint is that they didn't spray enough coats on. It chips too easily. I have quite a bit of paint chipped off the hood of my car.
