Respray gone wrong! 5900 quid down the drain??
Hi,
Any help or advice on this would be great. I have had a full respray and the panels look different shades. The painter is saying it is impossible but they are definitely different colours. What do you think?
Other faults are:
Micro blistering on the roof
Repairs showing through the paintwork
Dirt/Silicone in the paint on all areas of the car
Paint put on far took thick with runs, ripples, orange peel and thick edges
Door and bonnet put on wet causing peeling paint
Masking tape ball painted over in engine bay
Inlet manifold bolts not even tightened
Any comments would be massively helpful, I need to get this sorted, this is my pride and joy

I got a transporter repainted in a similar colour for 380 quid a few years ago it was 20 times tidier than that

No, honestly. Really not a wind up!
This was supposed to be a mint show standard full respray with a couple of small bits of bodywork. His own car is show standard with magazine coverage to prove it and is painted in Kandy which should be far more difficult than a pearl!
I paid more than I could have got it done for as I wanted it done as well as it could possibly be done, not the cheapest.
I wrongly thought that I would get what I paid for
What is your opinion of the blisters on the roof after about 6 month? Is that going to get worse?

You got ripped off.
Not having a dig, but I'm curious as to why you felt a Subaru forum was the best place to post this? Are you trying to find the Impreza P1 he painted a while back?

I don't want to sound harsh, but £5900 on a respray?? Trying to justify that price by saying its for show standard is irrelevant tbh because any full fresh respray should be show standard anyway... It will have never had any effects from road driving to not be.
I had my old car completely stripped and resprayed from bare shell and only cost me just over £1000, and it was perfect when it was done, so someone charging 6x that ( then doing a **** job to top it off ) I'm sorry but you were mad to pay that in the first place.
