My 93 Soarer is in the paint shop right now as we speak. I should be getting it back on Monday. I stopped by the shop today to see how things were going, and I found some defects that I would rather have it fixed... what should I do? Keep in mind I didn't pay yet, and the car's supposed to be ready for Monday. Will not post the name of the shop here, perhaps things will be fixed Monday, hopefully. They said they still have some detailing to do..


Price was settled at $2,500. (They asked me if I was going to install and, and I told them another shop. This price was only because I bought my kit there and they said that they could make me a package deal. I told them another shop quoted me $2,250)

My car was originally white pearl, wanted a repaint + a body kit (brand new kit)install.

The overall paint looks good on the car, it's just some minor defects

He also wrote down the things he would do.

- Complete Paint Job (White Pearl)
- 1 Coat White Sealer
- 2-3 Coats white base-coat
- 1-2 coats tri-coat (Pearl)
- 3 coats clear coat (complete buff)
- Put on body kit (mold front bumper)
- Exterior Paint Only
- Fix dents 1/4 / fender / top

Total: $2500.00 Signed by owner.

Anyways, Here are the pics

Car is not bad, needs a good buff + detail




Whole Kit
Looks good from far.. but..


Front Bumper. This dent is my only complaint on it.
They should've saw this when primed and could've fixed it.
Excuse given: You don't notice it when it's on the car..
My response I haven't given yet: IT BOTHERS THE F*** OUT OF ME! I'M PAYING!




Side Skirts
I'll let the words do the talking. The part where it's about 1cm stickout out with lots of chips is VISIBLE when the door is open....







More pics on bottom..

Rear Bumper
The lip was sprayed with the rear bumper on. I told them to fix the EXTRA paint inside the crevis.. hopefully this will be done Monday..
Excuse: You don't see it when it's on the car....




So what you guys think I should do......

If they dont fix it to the way you want, dont pay. They should do the job to your satisfaction

it all depends what you paid. if you paid top dollar, then you should point out the flaws.

the fact that they removed the window trim, bumpers, lights kinda shows that its not a cheap paint job

If it cost over 1400 I would not accept it... Over all if it's at or below that cost, what can you expect. They obviously don't have quality control at that shop...

Don't pay make them fix. You will so regret it later if you don't. I did, it bothered me so much i had it painted twice and still wasn't happy.... These shops dont seem to know how to use glaze or filler anymore!

you are paying for a paint job that satisfies you. you'll regret it if you dont make them fix it.

it kinda depends on houw much you paid for it. like aliga said, if you paid top dollar, then yeah, tell them.
but if its like.. 200 bucks paintjob, no complaining there.

True true, mind telling us how much you paid so we can give a better assessment?

This is why I don't deal with fiberglass. I mean it sucks that you are paying for a quality job and you're not exactly getting that. Im beginning to think these fiberglass bumpers where not even prepped before the primer when on. Don't get frustrated with them. Work it out. Otherwise it can escalate to something worse and the end result will be a crappy paint job and a lot of money being spent.

They could completely f u and say that they w keep your car if you dont pay. Try and be nice first but if that dosent work then you kno what to do.

$2500 was the price I was supposed to pay.

The front was prepped.
The fiberglass bumper was actually molded onto HALF of my OEM bumper for PERFECT fitment.
