From a guy that
fakes the way he actually does his repairs, I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you sir, you just made my day.
Punch up another red X while you're at it!
If you have to go back over your work to
fake your method of repair so it looks like
another method of repair, you're a dishonest hack. Doesn't matter if you've been doing that way for a hundred years, it's still a scam.
If you need the finished work to look a certain way, you use the method of repair that results in that look. Plain and simple. Need your spot welds to look like they were done with an induction welder? Use an induction welder! How hard is that? Don't spend twice as much time
faking your MIG welds to look like they were done with an induction welder. No amount of trickery and BS will change the fact you actually did them with a MIG, regardless of how good you are at faking the way that they look. If it's that important that they
look right, do the work right. Don't take a shortcut and then lie about it.
Need there to not be a seam on the backside of a panel? Use a butt weld to joint the panels, don't slap bondo on the inside of a panel to hide the fact you didn't do it that way. If it's that important that it
looks right, you're getting paid to do it right, so do it right. Don't take the easy way out then fake it to fool the guy paying your bills.
That kind of crap is why this thread exists, because a so-called bodyman took the easy way out, still screwed it up, and left the OP with mess to clean up.
