The original thread.

Well finally the car is back in and I have a courtesy car to get me around.

They are respraying the car *AGAIN*.

This time removing the windows as they should have the first time.

I had requested for the windows to be removed, they apparently undercharged me.

Instead of contacting me they simply masked her up and sprayed her.

This left a really nasty edge around the rear quarter windows.

The front and rear window rubbers had the flap trimmed back which wasn't too noticeable but still looked a little daggy if you knew what you were looking for.

They charged me $22.80 per rear quarter window and $22.80 for the front and another $22.80 for the rear.

So in total including a new front and rear window rubber all 4 windows are going to cost me an extra $160. Front rubber being $30 and rear rubber being $40.

Tomorrow Instant Windscreens are heading down to MEC Crash Repairs to remove the windows.

For those who want a copy of the 7page hand written fault list PM me.

So it doesn't look like I'll be getting those nice new leather gear shifter and hand brake covers this week

Yer I would say they are not the best.

The last few weeks have been stressful and sleepless.

And how do they explain the orange peel and runs? Lemme guess, they didnt charge you for a job without them? Hella dodgey

Hope it all works out for you mate.

So they are repainting it because they phucked up and charging you more for it?

*cough*

I wouldn't be taking it back there. They ****ed up enough the first time

Good stuff Joel.

At least this time they know your not willing to be stuffed around, so if they're smart they'll get their best spray painter to do it, and when you get it back it'll be the way it should've been - perfect.

I remember the bloke telling me the usual spray painter was on holidays. Then he was off with the flu.

So my guess is some one sprayed the car who usually doesn't usually spray cars.

The thought did cross my mind that an old school V8 head sprayed the car..

I seem to come across a lot of them here in SA.

NismoGirl,

I wish I could take the car some where else but that costs $$.

My car is in getting resprayed by Des Higgins in Adelaide. If you want a good job done he is the best in SA. (for instance he will not use bog or spray putty, as all panels are lead wiped) he removes all glass as a matter of course and the quality of his work is second to none. (A big call i know, but ask around in the trade, most shops will have heard of him)

OTT: Joel, just noticed you have a Citroen DS. Nice to see a follow Citroen-ite amongst the SAU faithful

LW.

Thanx 4door_Sleeper, I will keep him in mind should things go sour.

Iwells,

hahaha.

Such a lovely looking car.
