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 :(

With your list above! And the doors being different colour!

I'd be driving that back to the place who did it! Wouldn't pay 800 for that work

joe v3sti 14 January 2015 09:52 PM

Totally different, what has Ryan prodriverules said about it?
Looks like his work Lol

zippy! 14 January 2015 09:53 PM

800?? I wouldnt pay a quid!

nivek4209 14 January 2015 09:58 PM

I got a transporter repainted in a similar colour for 380 quid a few years ago it was 20 times tidier than that
Get back with the solicitor not far behind ya

And I'm the sort of guy who never ever digs at anyone.
But that one was too good to miss, just gutted I wasn't the first post. I haven't even seen the car that row was over,
Like I said too good to miss:luxhello:

More like shat look ...

Tony Harrington 14 January 2015 11:16 PM

This is definitely a wind-up based on the title alone.......£5900 hmmmm?

87retro 14 January 2015 11:27 PM

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?

piehole1983 14 January 2015 11:31 PM

The whole car needs prepped and painted again. If you actually did pay £5900 for this bodywork then I'm afraid you are insane. Sorry.

Dirk Diggler 75 14 January 2015 11:46 PM

As above ,you paid way too much ...

I will find the invoices and post them. This nightmare is actually happening :(

JayUK91 15 January 2015 12:27 AM

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?

53 15 January 2015 12:31 AM

You're from Birmingham, is this not enough fail already ?!? :p

Dibbles00 15 January 2015 02:37 AM

Got to be Rolf harris as he has clearly been didgeridoo'ed

veerinder9 15 January 2015 08:18 AM

Wow u got bummmmed hardcore dry no lube no bruh. I paid around 800 for mine and is 100 times better than that. Only one or two small rough areas such as orange peel but nothing major. That is wank id get someone to shaft him. Cant be paying out 6k for that. Buy a whole damn car for that much.

goatblower 15 January 2015 08:47 AM

Trading Standards.........

SMR scoob 15 January 2015 08:58 AM

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.
