Tomorrow i will do the finish with Megs #80 on polishing pad with DA polisher and #7 by hand..

I will do the wheels interior and engine bay next week.

In the future i have to wetsand it because of the orange peel that is on the paint...

Thanks for looking,and as always advises are welcome...Also if there is anywhere a ''wetsand guide'' pls let me know :D

Lol! Sorry but that is a terrible paint job.



i know that..As i told before it is not what i expected...:grrr

The only good thing it is that a lot of people will turn to see it,so the advertising decals on the car they will do their job :p
 
I think the problem is that the colors are too solid (not the black and white part of it, but just the "strongness of the colors towards the shift part) and the shift is too sudden. As the color shifts towards the middle of the car, the mirror on top of that is completely white, it should have been darker or even black like your photoshop one.
 
no offense but get ya money back, that looks like it was rattle canned...no way in hell i would have accepted the car back like that..and that painter ought to be ashamed of himself, if he couldnt do it like u wanted he should have never taken the job..
 
OMG...



Kudos to the paint correction but the blend of the white paint to dark is just not good...



sorry...
 
i know that maybe it is the worst paintjob ever....The painter promised that he could do it as i wanted,but you can see the results....Also the colour selection was a huge mistake....I will try to ''connect'' them with some decals or some airbrush work..

Unfortunately almost everybody in that F@#$%#$32 country think that he is the best,he knows everything and they don't listen suggestions.I knew that nobody could ever do this as i wanted so i found the cheapest painter on my area....

We had a very loud conversation last week when i advised him how to do the painting, so i decided to let him finish,pay him,fix it by my self and never go back to him for any reason....

I guess is time to learn how to paint cars :D

wow :'( that is a sad job! agreed make them do it over!



i will try to make them to respray the door...I am thinking of adding a lighter gray between the dark gray and white,and fix how white is mixed with the gray maybe....

Or maybe i will try to do it by my self...How difficult and worst than that it could be ???:p
 
If he won't fix the paint to the way you want it, I would park in outside his shop and put signs up telling people not to come there. I bet he takes care of that mess real quick.

believe he doesn't care...He will say that it was my fault etc etc .People here are extremely idiot.I want to kill all of them or to move in another country.....99% are not professionals at their jobs...For example i am waiting for 3 months they guy to call my to fix my AC at home...I called him 100 times but he never called back.Of course i called to someone else and now it is OK.Another example is that i had a problem with my car's AC and the guy that ''fixed'' it he just make the car's RPM higher just not to hear the problem of the AC..Of course he will wait for a long time the payment...

That's why i am telling you..

PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I think I'd get it repainted a solid color. Sorry pampos, but I don't think I'd want a detailing business advertised on a car with that funky paint job.
 
Yikes! :eek:



He painted the side view mirrors that solid cream color, and they really stick out. Your photoshop has them black. So much for attention to detail.



Ask him to repaint solid black, better yet demand your money back and go somewhere else. I was always a strong believer that you get what you pay for, but thats REALLY bad. How much did you pay?

I payed about $1800-$2000 at the moment that other painter wanted $4500-$5000
