okey well my car got rear ended right before xmas.brought it to this shop where my friend works.took it there and they said they will take care of everything.its been 1 month and a week already and they kept telling me that the car is going to be ready soon.Anyway they said the car is supposed to be ready today which is friday and i went there to check out the car and the rear bumper doesnt really match the paint on my car.he said it needs to be polished and i have to wait till tomorrow or another week to let the paint dry and get the right color.now i wouldnt be able to go to the show this sunday. Now im so pissed off.shoulda brought it to the same shop where i got my car painted.the owner said well ppw is really hard to match the paint and it wouldnt be a 100 percent perfect.i was like another shop painted my rear bumper and it matches the whole car.**** even when i bought my v2 front from shine and makito painted it and it was shipped to me.it matches the car.but that rear bumper they painted was like pure white.so whats the best thing to do?

should i take the car back and let another shop fix it.make them pay?


im not gonna call them out yet.till tomorrow!!

here is the picture that i took awhile ago.

 

i feel for you man, i had an rsx that was parked and a hit in run which sucked, shop told me it was going to be ready soon and the more i would call the more they lagged, as for the paint not matching man you should have them repaint it. insurance money or out of pocket? if so have your insurance talk to them, i took my car out of their and had another shop do the work good luck man..

 

Damn, I would be pissed too. The color is way off in the first pic, no way will a buff make that better.

Is the second pic from before the accident?

 

Shamwow should clean that right up!!










j/k man couldn't resist!

 

no its the same picture.well he said the paint is not really cured yet and it will take like a week or more to match the paint.i just need to wait tomorrow after they washed and detail the car.im trying to be patience here..

here is the recent pic before the accident..







HEHE JK. i wish.LOL

 

A week to cure, they are so full of ****, had my Maxima which is PPW (Stage 3 white paint) and they had it done in 3 days, matched perfectly. Dealer did sya Stage 3 Pearl is expensive but it does NOT take a ****ing week to match. They are idiots! Contact your insurance company and whatever you do, DO NOT sign and drive away, refuse the service!

 

i got my spoiler painted and it only took 1 day. paint was perfect.

 

Take it somewhere else dude. Don't cheap out on body shops....

 

actually the only reason why i took my car at this body shop,because my boy works here.but yah im not even trying to be cheap on picking a body shop.im going to check the car out again tomorrow.

 

Just because your boy works there doesn't mean you have to bring your car there to have them work on. On top of that, since they have someone in there that knows you, they can push your work back, or worse, choppy paint work, which, seem like the case to me.

You'll either get special treatment or lazy treatment most of the time.

 

thats true vince.but learned from you mistake right.hmm i need to check it out today,because they havent even washed the car yesterday.
