Car Resprayed for the second time now it has burns

[Cubes]

I am very pissed off.

I am now dealing with their Forrestville branch for the first time tomorrow.

The Forrestville branch painted the car this time round.

Overall quality is great this time, just a pitty about the buff.

I wonder which branch did the buff.

Lonsdale or Forrestville.

[KILL HSV]

yeh don't touch the car, just take it to them to do the work, the latest paint job looks a lot better than the last 1, much better peel, don't take it back to that first shop ever again, and hurl bricks through their windows for good measure, this latest problem shouldn't take too long to fix, although u really aren't having much luck with panel shops, what panel shop did u say it was (the first one)? is forrestville insurance company or panel shop?

[Cubes]

The paint shop has two branches.

Lonsdale and Forrestville.

[Cubes]

The paint is pretty good this time. I am happy with it.

Its impossible to get no orange peel but this time around its consistent and standing back it looks perfect.

The close up shots I took before obviously show up peel that cannot be seen under normal circumstances.

Black is the hardest colour to spray paint btw.

[Cubes]

Most definitely.

I guess thats a pretty valid excuse from someone who's not charging you to do it professionally.

Shall have to complain about insurance company paying for taxi rides to inspect work. Mind you, my mom got picked up in a shauffer driven car to collect hers. either RACV or pensioners.

I wouldnt go near a lawyer yet. Unless it is a no win no fee case, it will cost more than $50. First step should be small claims tribunal, but i suggest just being polite to the manager about work.

rb25, $50 for a solicitor to listen to your story and write a letter?!?. Try a minimum charge of $250-300 an hour (1 hour minimum).

[rb25]

oops, $50 is mates rates. we all know a lawer don't we, or you parents might be friendly with one?

Looks like nothing major Joel. I went through the same thing after a simple bonnet re-spray on my old black R33. When I sold that I swore I would NEVER own another black car..........

silver is the hardest to match though, u can never get it perfect, even getting it close is quite hard

Hey Joel, if you are up Tea Tree Gully way any time drop on bye and see what a good respray should look like. (got mine back a week ago) It took them nearly 10 weeks, the last 1.5 weeks spent pollishing and aligning panels, but the results are worth it. (no orange peel, no buff marks)

Dont settle for second best, if they couldnt do the job then they shouldnt have acepted it in the first place.

[Cubes]

I will take you up on that offer 4door.

Can you drop me a PM?

I got the couple of white bits buffed out today.

They also buffed up the front bumper.

It looks good now but I can still see the odd little bit of white on certian bits.

All it needs now is a good buff.

I'm happy with it now.

I need to realign the front lights and rear lights.

I swear the pricks did it on purpose.

One of the rear lights is sunken in too much the other is sticking out 5mm.

Bastards.:throwup:

[lwells]

Joel: glad to hear that the marks don't require another respray.

Cheers,

Lucien.

[hippy]

oh yeah ... just for everyones info ... NEVER EVER GO TO JV CRASH ... they absolutely suck!!! and will take your money doing not even 1% of what you expect!!!!

[NIZR34GTT]

Go over it with Maguires yellow wax, then use the maguires final finish it will come up a treat do a small section at a time.

When you say that some of the job was insurance and the rest was "private". How much of it was private and how much did the original repsray cost you? Just wondering cause I'm in the same predicament atm. Second time the cars gone back and I'm not happy at all. I'll see how it comes out this time.

I was told that a $2300 "white repsray" was a cheap job? And the orange peel was the different between a cheap and an expensive respray. To me, $2300 aint cheap (with a little ice pearl thrown into the clear coat) job. Seeming we are giving him another go, I won't post pics of how crap it looks just yet. But yeah, just wondering how much it originally cost.

that is fairly cheap, it depends on where u go because some regular panel shops don't like doing resprays, u hav to shop around, $2300, is that to fix all the dents and what not? or just paint?

Yep silver is the hardest to match & Black is the hardest to spray because every little detail comes up and it takes a good spray painter to get it smoothish, unless you add a clear coat and use multiple layers.
