Dodgy Car Painter In Brisbane

[Rumpig]

Hey guys just letting everyone know if your thinking of getting your car painted stay away from A & B redesign and finishing. There on Rochdale rd for anyone in brisbane. The owner is a guy named Ben Curtis. I made the unfortunate mistake of getting this guy to paint my gtr and wow what a crap job the door had a mark in it from where an apperent bug flew into the clear and I asked to fix it and they say yea but at my expense. Also the car wasn't denibbed either. The rear wing had put marks in it as well wasn't primed or rubbed back. He gave me a written quote for the job and then after it was painted charged me an additional $600 on top for apperent more paint. Would not release the car to me until this extra cost was paid. These guys are real scabs and please for your own sake do not use these backyard dodgy guys

Take the issue to fair trading if you want more done about it

Out of interest what was the cost?

Yea ill post some photos up tonight when I get home. I went to fair trade he didn't respond back to them. So fair trade basically nothing they can do so fair trades a waste of time as well

Total cost just for the respray he quoted $2500 then after he painted it $3100. Now for this the car it self was finished he had nothing to do at all to it. He only had to prime the wing and block it one more time then it was finished. So basically car rolled up and paint it also he said they painted it in a downdraft booth which I find hard to believe cause of the amount of trash in the paint. Even had eye lashes in the clear.

I gave him a spare Rb25 manifold when he was working for a detailing company and he offered to paint my car for around the same price (said he formerly worked at a bodyshop and could hire their booth).

may as well of because I payed twice what you did at cameron's bodyworks and sounds to be about the same quality as yours, leaking windows, runs, dust marks, clear coat peeling, scratches, took it back three times and got more damage every time so cut my losses, was 1200 over quote to, now it's sitting under a friends house because I can't stand looking at it lol

I feel sorry for you guys and your cars, you be better off taking to another body shop paying them maybe $500 maybe less and getting a proper detailed to go over the car and cut the shit and runs out and give it a good polish! Just a suggestion.
