The guy is a moron if does not appreciate what you just did for him. Some people have no appreciation for anything nice. That was a really nice thing for you to do for him in the first place.

If I had better friends I wouldn't drink so much!

It sounds to me that this guy is to cheap and he wants to do the whole BLACK car for little to nothing. And that is not going to happen

Nice work. Just wish you could have done the rest of the car for a reasonable fee.
