  Just to be clear I didn't say my finishing results were bad or substandard 
just that to my mind the learning curve has been long for me at least and 
others in my employ. This is the nature of finish work. Really I only had one 
shmuck and he's gone. The guy I have now is doing the job but when you train 
somebody green you must keep your head into the details, color prep and 
rubout quality. You know
  I think it has much to do ,as you say ,that the're not the ones with there 
neck stuck out there. I guess what I'm saying  is at what point is a mistake 
no longer a mistake but simply failing to learn,obsorb and apply training.
  Everything I know I learned from some one else and a Lot from Marcia and 
Bob Davis.
