Angry "professional" upholstry shop black interior FTL!!!

Remember my failed attempt on my drivers side door painting black, then you remember my "updated" thread telling you guys I had it "professionaly" done, well guess what, I have chips all over my car from the *** poor quality they did, I took a ride up there & showed them what was going on, know what they said? "Oh god, we must have forgotten to put the coat on first that keeps the dye from chipping", oh... ohh I was pissed, they gave me back my full $400.00 refund & I am now sweating my *** off outside reduing everything they fukced up, I found the exact materials for the job, this time I know what I'm doing as I've already tested out peices of the interior and they look 100 X better than what they did, AND I cant take the black off even when I TRY, so in the end, Alabama = ****. At least in this area of the state, that place was SUPOSED to be the #1. interior shop around my area.

I've calmed down now seeing how I'm doing a great job doing it myself, the only plus side to all of this is it is easy as hell to pop off the interior parts now.

I guess if you want it done right, you really should do it yourself, just research everything before you try, unlike my first attempted fail.

I'll post up pictures when I'm finished, which will probably take a while since I dont have a ton of extra time for this kind of stuff.

Note to everyone thinking about painting their interior. DONT DO IT. it's a BAD idea. I speak from experience and this is the example.

Why not find all the peices in black on ebay from a part out or salvaged car? Were you the one that painted the interior with it still in the car?

I had it done by a company with a high reputation, there the ones who said they could do it & it would look factory, which it does, its just coming off.. lol

Ive tryed salvage yards with no luck at all.

Douchboy350, good job on bringing up the past, you get a cookie.

Just a test run, I ran out of paint & didnt do a 100% perfect job sanding, ran out of time, but at least I know its not hard at all to paint the center dash. The paint looks to light for me and I couldnt do the cubby since I ran out of paint, I'll have it done perfect sometime this week

I just noticed 3 factors, #1. My seats need to be black for it to flow better, cubby to, and I need a silver toned aftermarket cd player.

Just playin man, at least they gave you your money back. Sorry to hear about this and best of luck! www.coastairbrush.com Honestly, give these guys a call. They sell everything and truly are experts in the paint field. They are more than willing to walk you through this for the best results. Take care!
