oh yeah car looks bad ass as it is...but you should get what you pay for...im sure you didi not want runs/fisheyes/and missing apint...you didnt pay for that..

 

Stock or modified is fucking amazing, if you're willing to shell out the cash. Best job around town in my book.

What's your price range?

 

i would say SOM.

 

some side painters do a great job, just remember that me, mike and joey started out doing side work years ago. and look at where we are now, One of the best shops in the area, composed of previous side job painters. There are quality painters who do it on the side, just have to look for them. Or you can just come see us or the other good shops on this board and be happy the first time. Some people do it for a quick buck, some do it for fun, we aim for quality and customer satisfaction. thats what keeps people coming back.

Sorry to hear about your crappy experience with that other guy, like said before give him a chance to fix it, ONCE. if he doesnt come through than you should continue with the legal action.

 

I thought you hardly paid anything and were ok with the paint job he gave you b/c you rushed him and said you'd bring it back later for him to redo. That not the case anymore?

 

yeah i was happy with it because i was under the impression alot of the shit would wetsand/buff out and he was going to do it...but now he's dodging me and ignoring me. thus not making good on his end by wetsanding it. (btw i didnt rush him i just didnt let him keep it longer for the wetsand)

 

I see. well that's shitty he didn't keep up his end of the deal.
Auto Elite out in Va Beach does good work-i would go by a few places and get some estimates and see some work prior to settling. Hope it gets corrected.

 

Im not going to go into a big debate about these false allegations from you in regards to your paint job. As far as it goes on my end to wet sand and buff your car, as you stated in a pm you sent me i dont owe you a wet sand and buff. Therefore, I was going to do that just because. However, I did send you a pm on 3/28/08 stating that i was going to be tied up for the next 3 weeks. That time hasnt come and passed yet.

As for you trying to contact me for the last month and a half, you picked your car up on 2/9/08 (the day after paint=no time to buff it before you got it). I have spoken to you several times and just because I couldnt make your schedule, now Im the bad guy?? This just goes to show that you cant please everyone.. The funny thing is that when you picked up your car, you loved it and were thrilled w/ it.. Now that your getting info from others your having this issue.

I offered to go that extra mile, on my schedule (i do work a full time job, have a family, house, etc...). But how about your end of the deal? Our contract was to only "scuff and shoot".. Correct? It also states that all body work was to be done prior to dropping the car off. Was it? No. YOU were supposed to remove everything in the engine bay, etc. However you didnt and it was under the agreement that i wasnt going to tape off all of the hard lines or any of that.

This could go on and on but to make a long story short, I:
-did all/most of the body work(not in the contract)
-did all the prep work(not in the contract)
-removed all of the graphics off the car(not in the contract)
So basically I did all the work you were to have done.

I then sprayed your roof and cage one color, and then did your jams, interior sheet metal, and outer body another. I also charged you 1/3 - 1/4 of the amount other places told you... And now Im the bad guy because you loved it when you picked it up and now I cant jump on it right away(when its convenient 4 u) to do something extra.
Let me ask you this. If you did not like it, why did you pay the balance? And why did you offer me more money because you liked it so much the day of? C'mon man, I tried w/ you but because our schedules conflict each others, dont come on here and bash me. I even offered to respray your car and you said no it will be fine after a wet sand and buff.. Lets be real

Sorry for typing so much in the OP's thread, this is just a bunch of B.S. and I had to chime in and say something..

 

well im curious as to how much he actually paid you for this work...you say 1/3 to 1/4 of what others wanted...so how much did he pay you?

 

not enough compared to the labor involved..
