i paid a little over a 1000. but the funny thing is...you speak of prep work and extra body work as if you actually did anything. lets be real here...you sanded the car/took off body vinyls (which is a given unless you were planning on painting over them), and painted what was agreed upon and that was it.dont act like you did some outstanding paint job for so little and you're the victim. the car looks like ass dude.

because i'm not a scumbag and we agreed on a price and thats what i'm going to pay you...especially when you told me you would fix the blemishes that i caught while i was there. as far as more money being offered...i thought it was good until i got the car in direct sunlight and noticed how f'ed up it was, or when i'm having lighting issues because their is paint in all the plugs for the tailights, or when i found missing paint spots, etc. when i get home from work i'll post pics of all the shit wrong with the paint job. and we'll let other people be the judge.

EDIT: all i want is my car fixed...like i said from the start i'm not after a show quality paint job. you said you would wetsand and buff to take all the major stuff out(runs,fisheye,white haze,overspary,orange peel). and if that didnt work you would re-spray at your expense...i'm not about to make you go that far but i'd appreciate if you actually wetsanded and buffed it to fix the major and embarrassing stuff that i just mentioned or threw me some dough so i can pay someone else to. the point is i'm not paying anymore out of pocket to fix this paint job. if that means legal action then so be it.
