The painter sucks bigtime!

[Gubien]

Hi all.

I have posted about my car that had been sprayed the wrong color for some time ago!

3rd time he painted it, some bubbles appeared on the left fender.
The painter told me he just could wet sand it and give it some polish, then it should be fine!

Be that was just not good enough!

See the pictures for yourself!

He also fixed some minor circle marks on the hood....but hey...now the hood i full of them!!...arghh!!!

Arrrgh!!

We call that Orange Peel,
its all about chosing your painter carefully!
Wet sand and a good polish should do better than it is!

Yeah thats actually also the danish word. The thing is that when I bought the car. I told him I would use my own painter and get the front resprayed if he would cut some of the price.
But the refused to do so. His painter was a "really good one". ****ing bullshit!!!

I have my own painter that paint for one of the biggest VW/Audi dealers here in denmark.

Think I should go for a complete respray, they have ****ing ruined my car!

To tone colors, circelmarks all over the hood, orange peel on the fender (well only whitespots now) (have to be resprayed, again!).

arrrgh i'm so ****ing furious!!

Circle marks could be from a rotary polisher at a guess - dunno how the law works in your country but I'd be demanding a refund for the work done or demand them to pay for another body shop to put right their shoddy workmanship!

Best of luck getting it sorted fella!

Yeah I waited while he "fixed" my car. He used a polish thing with airhose connected to it. It's thats where they ****ed up?

He also used a smaller polish thing for waxing.

Usually it get paint, then after all thats done, wet and dry paper with soap and water to rub it down, then it may go for a "mop" or buff, but usually a good polish is fine no need for such a harsh way to do it, the paint would still be very soft for a few days so the mop may have damaged the fresh paint!

 

[Gubien]

Ohh my god, I dont think the paint was "fresh" as it was 1½ month since the car had been painted.

Take a brick to his head

Just to fresh up the color difference the first time they painted it!

That's one hell of a difference!

Are they blind??

Awesome Andy:

I had the some thoughts! Both the dealer and the painter couldnt see the color difference!It was just faded. That was just what they'd exspected from a 2 years old car...wtf!

Contacted Scandinavien Motor Company and showed them the exsact picture.
SMC then called the painter and told them to redo the job.

Which they did, they just "toned" the color out across the doors and it now tricks the eye. So it looks better...not okay. Better.
Then they made the "orange peel" thing twice in the paint job! And handed over the car with lots of circle marks as they one you can see on the fender!

I'm just tired....
