Morning guys,

 

I brought another painter round to look at my car last night (a mates brothers mate who just gave his opinion and not in the position to do the work so is unbiased). He was shocked any bodyshop would turn my car out as a finished job :( After a lot of swear words he said they'd flattened the hell out of most of the car and most of the marks would come out if they had actually polished it properly. The bonnet had not been really flattened and the pin holes would have come out with a good go with the mop.There are marks that are in the paint and would have to be sprayed again. The T tops are not the same colour, both doors have not been laquered on the underneaths, no laquer where the door hinges are, no laquer on the bonnet hinges, various small nicks in the bodywork/bumpers that should have been stoppered at the primer stage, runs in the door mirrors, runs in the door sills, there are dents in the roof panels that are to the front and back of the T rooves, the boot has to be resprayed as there are about 10 places they should have stoppered, the bonnet has a scrape on the edge nearest the windscreen that is down to the basecoat. Around the wheel arches, they'd flattened back and taken the edge off the paint. And lets not forget the fact that a D.A has gone across the bottom of my screen and he doesn't think will polish out and will possibly need a new screen

 

So in his opinion the only way of sorting my car out properly is a complete respray which I kinda already knew :( Once again I have the problem of my car not being in a drivable position to get to any bodyshops for quotes. What recommedations for bodyshops do people have? They have to be capable of spraying a 2 stage pearl.

 

Cheers
