ive waited over a year to have my car back from paint shop and now have it back but the problem is the more i work on the car the more i find where they have missed with the paint

i just went to fit the rear windows only to find they have put very little paint on and you can see the primer almost so you will see it when the windows are in, plus they havent laquered one side of the inside of the tailgate and big runs down it

proper pissed off now as ive had to come to a stop as it needs to be redone before i can caryo on, and the inside of the doors need doing where they havnt painted aswell

heres some pics of the paint job lol

top of door where it got damaged forst time, they just blobbed up



bumper damage, bear in mind they wrapped eveything up in bubblewrap ready for collection





this pic you can see bubblewrap imprints where the laquer was still soft i think



and a scratch on this side



the dent in the bonnet which should of been sorted was filled with laquer and left with this



rear side window, you can see where the paint is thin, this is all round aswell



inner door frame where seals run, you can see that the bits arnt painted where the seal wouldnt go so this needs doing, again all round by doors



damage at top of door where panels touched hasnt been repaired, top of door shut



dent in passenger wing



run on under side of bonnet, really hard to get a pic



laquer runs ontop of morrettes





more bubblewrap imprints, this is slam panel and also in boot shut among other places



mopped threw on top of door shut



over spray on door shut



another paint run inside top of door



inner tailgate not laquered one side



3 of these on inside flat edge of tailgate



boot shut with loads of dust in paint and really dull



couple of engine bay with the shit in paint





dent outwards for rear screen jet





a shot of one side to show how flat the paint is there is that much over spray on it



and where they mopped through on the bonnet



its now going to a decent painter at the end of the month now

ive rang trading standards only to find that it will go to small claims court and that the fees would cost more than my return proper fukt off as im a year behond the build now and out of piocket for just over 1k

 

u sud not av pay`d m8 until u was 100% happy wiv the job
it looks like stevie wonder got his hand on yr car m8

jay

 

problem is the car was in stunning condition when i paid them, when it arrived it got damaged on transport so went back for repairs as they arranged collection and delivery, this is how ive got it back, i went down pissed off as they had it for so long so told them they have a week to sort it, when i went down to arrange collection they were just masking the car up to be sorted so i thought they were going to do a good job as i never went back down as the car was being delivered after i got a phone call to say its all done

 

Poor workman ship there, you wud of thought after a year they would have got it bang on, hope u get it sorted mate.

 

thats shockingly shit mate............. i wouldnt of paid a penny

 

Have you been back and complained? What did they say?

 

Shocking mate probably painted in water base shit so will go milky and flat. I work in a bodyshop and I'm not saying our finish is the bollocks but we would never dream
of giving a customer there car back like that. Hope they sort it for you.

 

WTF , Now thats taking the piss, money back, no question, you deserve a full refund if nothing else

 

+1...........

 

last time kickedoff thebloke walked off and locked himself in the booth else i would of smacked the prick, im not going back down there, ive rang trading standards and basically they said it will go to small claims court and be a long process and it will proberbly cost me more in court fees than what return i get anyhow, becuase it was all cash inhand etc there was no proff of a contract to say the time scale or what job was supose to be done, so im just gona fuck his booth up

 

name and shame mate.thats fuckin poor work.
gutted for ya bud

 

i think the garage is called akn motors on gulson road coventry, not like anybody will use them

i went to tehm becuase ive known them since i started riving and they restored old e type jags and done 3 friends cars, but mine just took the piss

 

bloody hell mate what k mess. Im gutted for you.

 

Same happened to me,i paid top dollar for a proper job,went to collect car and it looked awesome at a glance round,once i got her home and started fitting up i found loads of shit bits,i took it back and they did some more work but they still missed some

 

i will bring the mop round will have it sorted in 10 mins

 

Name and shame them get a load of photo's print loads of copies and stick them up everyday near their premises and see if that don't grab their attension, i don't useually rubbish other peoples work but that for 1k is shocking.

 

mops here and it still carnt fix it

 

oh yer i forgot u still have the mop, git lol well im all out of ideas lol

 

It not good job but tbh 1k is cheap no wonder its shit, i paid 5k

 

sorry for you mate but that is some of the worst work iv seen the only thing they would have got off me would be a good hyding for doing that to my car

 

Whoever you spoke to at trading standards is an idiot. I suggest you look a lot further into taking them to court.

Going by the fact you say you are out of pocket for about Ł1k, the small claims court fee will be between Ł70 - Ł75 with an additional hearing fee of between Ł75 and Ł100.

The small claims court process takes about 30 weeks at the most.

 

I can give you a number of a top painter if you want it. He's in birmingham and i can't say anything about him or his work, you'd have to meet up with him and make the decision yourself but i think he'd do you proud.

Joe.

 

the car is going to a painter at the end of the month who i know will do a fantastic job so thats all sorted thanks

 

no probs, just a suggestion

 

tbh this sounds like a job for super-rsmat

 

Thats shit mate, shame it was a cash in hand job but surely he must have some sort of responsibility to sort it out? I understand it wont be easy but the car was there that long there must be witnesses you can call on to say it was there having the work done? Hope you get it sorted though fella, best of luck.

 

poor job mate, hope it all works out in the end for you.

 

Perfect finish you need to use...

That's shocking Rich..

 

That's terrible. No way should they be allowed to get away with that quality of work.

 

Got to be the worst paint job I have ever seen. Whoever done that even for 1K should be ashamed of themselves.

Really Gutted for you!

 

go there few lads and tell them get ready to be in court etc soon and that u will make sure they go down if your car aint sorted! theyl shit it and might sort it out if not then cause them 2k damage in return so u feel better!

 

I'm with Mo. Go and take it out on expensive and much needed equipment in the guys workshop.

 

Shocking mate

 

What do you expect for 1k? Im not saying that its acceptable but painting is something you defo get what you pay for. I recomend spraystation mate in bilston.

 

mate whata load of bolox

heres the car when they finished it the first time now tell me it doesnt look good










pissed off about is it it wasnt for the over spray on the boot shut and engine bay i would of accepted the car back fine and if it never got damaged in transport, but becuase it did i had to send it back and its come back fukt

so dont say you get what you pay for as originally they done a great job but fukt me over when it had to go back for there cock ups

 

that`s utter shit mate


cash job eh! i`m sure HMRC would like to to know how poor they are treating customers,not the sort of thing he`d like you to say i`m sure...

 

dont get on your high horse for no reason as ask anyone you do get what you pay for and from the pics it looks dull.. dont know if thats the cam or the lighting in the room etc

 

I can only 2nd that. you get what you pay for and if your are so skint that 1k is your whole budget for a respray then change the escos to a morris marina.

are you a member of the ghadaffi family as they were just quoted being dillusional on cnn ??

 

the price all depends on if the car was stripped down before it was taken to the painter.
like the escort here is was stripped so he would save alot on labour.

 

Even if it was stripped down.. prep and decent paint and then polishing takes time. I know a few places that do work based on your budget so if you have 1k your going to get a 1k job.. if you have 10k your getting a 10k job.. And the final product will reflect that
