Message	painted it before hand. He reiterated that he had been painting for 25 yrs, blah blah. And like I said, they had a lot of good feedback locally, so I was a bit shocked when I walked up to see the bumper with that amount of orange peel. I didn't want to be a total ass, but I really wanted to say that I got the same results myself with a harbor freight gun and a 4.2gallon 4CFM compressor in my engine bay. So, we'll see...hopefully they can smooth it out a bit, but I am worried that, as you pointed out, it won't look that great. It will probably be even more noticeable when place next to my fenders that are really smooth.
