winchester's sepang bronze E30

[winchester]

Looks like it has to be re-painted, the flaws are to major for my taste, especially considering I'm paying 3500$ for the paintjob, minus a 1000$ discount. Never going back to that shop again.

I'm pissed.

Dude I am sorry to hear this. Too many hack-ass bodymen in the world. I have personally worked at a number of shops, and the only one that did 100% acceptable work all the time, (and never, ever had to be asked to re-do something or fix a blatantly obvious mistake) was my uncle's bodyshop. He and another guy own the place, and still do most of the work, just because they are usually unhappy with other peoples work. It's ridiculous what some of those guys try to pass off as acceptable, or "quality" work.

Attention to detail, and a badass work ethic are what body men and painters need to strive for, and the whole auto collision industry is built from. Too bad there are lazy fucks out there, with absolutely no ethical integrity.

Good luck man.

You don't say. There's crowds of them! And I repeatedly told the man to check the hood, the rear wheel arches and the front fenders, mostly because the rear wheel arches I welded in myself, so I needed them to be a perfect replica of the new ones, but I can see a large dent infront of both the arches - which I also told him to pay much attention too. The hood looks like a shooting target if you look at it from the correct angle. I'm going over there to complain on Monday, hopefully he'll come to his senses and reconsider his crappy job - if not, he's never seeing me again, and I'll spread the word for sure.

I've been over there helping him for several days, and he generally seems to stressed, which is NOT a good thing.

Thanks man.

What's up Michael?

You know, I despise your car and all its potential :P

[winchester]

Haha, I'll take that as a compliment Nothing is happening, just sitting here being annoyed by the fact that the paintjob didn't turn out as suspected.

What exactly is wrong with it? Bad paint jobs make me want to rage. Your twin up there had similar frustrations with his sepang.

The paint is fine, but it's the prep work that ruined the whole thing. I can see all the flaws that were there when I delivered it, i.e the rear wheel arches (a dent on both the arches), the hood doesn't look good because he didn't do his job properly after I grinded off the rust on it, and today he also managed to make a dent at the trunk lid. Good job overall..
