All you have to do is stand firm and say your still not happy with the finish.

If the company that covered your car in cr*p is at fault they really don't have much say in the matter.

have you sorted this out with your insurance company?

if not then get intouch with them as you are paying for legal advice in your insurance mate.............they can advise you what to do and also act on your behalf.

you only loose no claims if it was your fault..........do yourself a favour and get intouch with your insurance company and explain to them what has happened.

Iv'e missed something here.
Did you get your car resprayed by some idiots who mucked it up, then they asked this DAB firm to valet to take the resprayed paint off? And now that DAB cannot get the paint off, theywill pay for another respray in Sheffield?

No he parked his car outside a hotel. The outside of the hotel was being painted. They did not cover his car and this has been covered in small white paint drops (ie your arm when using a roller) does not look bad from a distance but up close its covered and you can feel all the small drops.
