need car painted!
theres a place in diamond springs with a really good paint shop. ive seen their work, flawless. it's in this little shopping center with other car shops for like tint and brakes and so-on.. I think that whole building is called 'car'
stock or modified bodyworks. check out or vendor review forum. were very well known in the area. nftuatn does nice work as well. either way youll come out on top.
all i'm saying is that i said it was ok if their was SOME orange peel and minor blemishes (none of that is stated in our contract) because its a track car first then daily driver. i'm not ok with an entire car of orange peel, fish eyes, gigantic runs, parts of the cage/door missing paint, the engine not prepped just sprayed (looks like a paint bomb went off, i said dont worry about the hard lines...dude straight sprayed everything), overspray on everything, car feels like 20grit, just sprayed over dust and gunk in the interior so the "paint" just wipes away. in his defense i didnt let him keep it to wetsand it (which he claims will fix everything but missing paint spots) due to my schedule...he said we'll do it when i'm done. now he's not answering calls or returning pm's. honestly i'm embarrassed to show the car to people and i hope i actually slide into a wall at an event so that they will notice that rather then the child like paint job. i gave him the benefeit of the doubt and held off on this so he can make the situation better "by fixing his blemisheds". now i'm taking legal action to get some of money back.

damn man sorry to hear about that...it a shame when people try to perform a job that they cant accomplish...im doing a teg now with a jdm conversion that someone butchered..had the rad support bloted on top of the old one...so it made verything sit like 1/4 inch higher...its fixed right now...but yeah take his ass to court then bring it to me or one of the other good painters on here to fix it.......AND ON A SIDE NOTE...give him the chance to make it right...nothings worse than missing work and shit and arguing and then you still dont get shit done...give him a chance to fix it if hes willing to...the runs and peel can come out with buffing if there is enough clear but the fisheyes and missing paint will have to be redone
yeah hopefully, thats what i was doing for like the first month and a half...but after getting blown off and getting the run around i'm resorting to this. i just dont want anyone else to get a bad paint job. its funny too, because i remember a thread awhile ago i was saying that some side painters can do just as good a job as a shop...WRONG. but w/e car is still sick.
If you don't mind traveling for excellent quality work see Suffolk Auto Body. 549-6517 there located at 900 Portsmouth Blvd. In suffolk. They've done paint work on my car, and friends cars. Very good, ask for Walter, tell him Thurman sent you.
