Name them so no one else is ripped off. My 10 month old paint job has developed a minor blemish & my body shop is going to do it again at no cost to myself, they insisted on it being perfect as they want me totally satisfied.

Yeah when i spoke to the owner of the company he started going into a
ramble about what had been done, you know that kind of talk that they just making excuses, tryed to explain to me that they didnt take the old paint right back so with the old paint underneath thats why it happened.
To say i was shocked well you can imagine, it didnt even cross my mind that they would,nt rub it down properly

What will really make you laugh is when i asked what will be done, he
said that will be another £100 on top of what i payed already
The said company is Johnsons accident repair centre, burgess hill. stay well clear
Even checkatrade have got involved since i phoned trading standards,
Still im not gonna lose any sleep over it, lifes to short.

Plus paint of course, and he has a good reputation.
Currently have a spare alloy bonnet in with a mate on a "when I get time" basis, cost of paint only.
After which I have a this lot for him (look in the summer house) PMSL
One's a pro and the other a mate.
It's good to have mates

In fairness to the body shop it depends what you've asked them to do,
You say you had a new bonnet painted? So I presume you bought this from subaru in factory primer?
Did you supply them with a used bonnet from a scrapers?
Did they do any filling or was it just a case of can you paint me a bonnet,
If we're were brought in a bonnet, and asked to paint it then it would be inspected for repairs or sub standard work, it wouldn't be taken down to bare metal if that's what you'd be expecting. It would be taken down and high build primered.
All depends whatbyounasked to be done.
