just sent my car of to be painted(great i thought)
asked him to plate rear wiper hole and tidy it up remove some rust and plate it.

went done there and my car is painted but i ain't happy at all he has left the bumper strip in the frony bumper and painted that the same colour as the car. the paint is nice looking but when up close you can see dry patchs where the paint ain't flat. and he has left the windows in were i had asked for them to be removed so once it was complete i could new rubbers on the car.

i ain't saying it bad but it ain't good and i am now avoiding picking it up but all i want is my car back.

so legally where do i stand

vroooom ptssssh

go to consumer rights place, you asked for summit and it wasnt delivered!

but i don't think he was going to put through the books. will that affect me in anyway

apples24

well the flat bits you wont see once hes flatted and moped it

as for the windows well spose thats not on seing as you requested it id have a little polite word with him, either that or get money off

but if your looking for spot on as i expect you are as requested windows out ask him to do them bits again as your not happy

but it matallic and you can see it under the laquer

apples24

then thats different needs to be redone

how much you paying may i ask?

escort1989uk

under a 1000 but it still should be a good finish. i even check a load of his other work. from plain colours to metallics and they were mint. so didn't really worry about it to much. and now i so down in the dumps. i feel like i don't want to finish rebuilding her

apples24

tell him sorry its not good enough for what you want, after all i take it you still owe him a wedge of cash

say cash is there for him as soon as those couple teeny bits are sorted


he will no prob, if hes an arsehole take the car tell him to fook off and pay him half, the rest you will give to someone else to finish the job properly

simple

escort1989uk

but the thing is the there is problems with every panel in places so would need yet another blow over

apples24

not really locals can be done and panel laqured etc

obv cant say without seing it but if your not happy dont pay out simple, i know i fookin wouldnt

failing that take the fokoer to court

Rossco

Agree with apples, we all make foook ups and like to take short cuts, tell him you aint happy with a few bits and for him to sort them please.

Be polite and dont get excited. Give them a chance to put it right, see what he is willing to do.
If you storm in ranting and raving - chances are you'll get nowhere.

If he wont play ball, just mention trading standards. Possibly the taxman too if its a cash job!

escort1989uk

sort of scared i won't get my car back of him or he will just wreck the work he has done

Rossco

If he is a proper painter, dont think he would be able to do that, I know i would not be able too, all the time and effort that goes into painting a car.
