Ha-ha, yeh i actually know one peed off customer quite well, and while they'll be no fire bombs, or anything like that, im damb sure id be pretty upset, if "my" car was returned with a "extra" one thousand Ks on the clock, and then you recieve speed camera fines and unpaid toll notices the week after getting it back !

Hey mate. I know the feeling. Unfortunately there are very few people in business that will apply the same level of care and time compared to doing the job yourself. I have come across many 'good' people, but they all seem to suffer from human error combined with rushing the job to get to their next job. Just sucks when you fork out the big dollars and get shafted.

Yes Spektrum very true, although it can be hard for panel shops these days, they all seem to get shafted by insurance companies, none seem to get paid what they are worth, and most are forced to cut corners to stay afloat, so quality suffers, plus its not easy work, and one simple mistake can result in zero profit, i know i certainly don't wanna work in one.
I know, and thats pretty much all i could say as well.
Basically, when someone else has your car, you really have little control over what actually happens to it.
damn i would be interested to hear what the outcome is in that scenario!
Ok so i got time and weather today to get the troll out and take some pics.....
A lot of the things are hard to show with the camera just how bad they look in real life, i don't know where to start so ill just start in order of pics.
It had no fuel so went to put some in and found this.......
no big deal but just slack, when masking tape gets wet its very hard to remove.
After removing the tape i find the grey primer overspray has not been coverd with white, again just slack and looks dodge.
They had done the same thing (get grey primer overspray) inside the LHR door jam, i dont know any other painter that would paint the outside of a car first, then the door jams, they still didn't paint white over the grey line, instead opting to "brush" paint some cream colour over the grey line.....
Behind the wiper cowl never got painted (i asked for this to be done about 3 times) as you can see, its pretty hard to miss that its not been painted white
Where they finished roof to pillar (mig weld) they burn away the sealer id put in, they were supposed to replace the sealer before painting, but as you can see.....
Why the hell would you paint over ^that^ ???
Some nice air bubbles in the paint under the roof gutter.....
Gaurd holes bogged over then painted, i asked to have the holes made clear from the first bog that went on
WHY !....... would you not poke the holes through before painting, drilling the hole now, risks damage to the paint, plus will expose bare metal that will then need to be painted.
More holes such as this door mould got bogged over as well....
Is this peed off customer from the panel shop ur 4b was at or a different company all together???
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time
