Well today was one of the worst experience I ever had. When to pick it up at chopshopcustom and it had 8 large chips in paint a couple filled as if it was done with finger nail polish brush, three 1" look likes hairs in clear coat, lots of small bubbles but under clear coat, scratches everwhere and some of the paint is only green no orange and I don understand why it would be green only? After having to pull one of chop-shopcustoms employee away from pushing my wife and all of his guys telling me you only spent 40,000.00 so we can not fix the chip and of stuff and Lenny saying screaming at his guys and me he said he could fix that but it would have to be in the future. I know I'm picky but macco painted my chevelle and it came out PERFECT NOT GOOD BUT PERFECT. Anyways I guess it going to need to be painted again. I have a nice 15 footer paint job. The metal work was extremely good. This is my first time I have ever been taken for a ride and it sucks. To upset to post pictures today so maybe tomorrow. Does anyone know of a good honest place local to south shore in Boston to get it repainted? What a ****ty day.

Sorry to hear that bud, your car was looking pretty awesome. $40K for paint and body seems like alot, so I would expect perfection as well. Good luck with the next steps.

wow... that really sux you got taken for a ride.. yeah at 40k that paint job better sing to you!! it looks very similar to a color i mixed one time and let me tell you.. there is no wonder the guy doesnt want to repaint it.. my paint was a tri coat but it was soooo difficult to match.. you would think for 40k he could repaint the car about 3 times and still come out ahead.. well i wish you the best of luck with your project and dont worry..karma is a b&tch..
