Default Need to vent

i went to go pick up my car on monday from the body shop, got there checked the out the job they did. no word of a lie it looked like the MF's painted my car with a can of spray paint there were high and low spots drips all over the car, and to top it off there was FINGER PRINTS in the clear coat and it looks like they painted my car a VW tornado red (former dubber) not the NFR red, you can tell when you look at the door jams. I was very pissed i told them to fix it. Went back to the shop same F**KING thing, and this time there was overspray on the lights front and rear, and still had drips. Im a more than upset, all this agony because people a haters, i don't kno what to do


Oh and i forgot the best part, this was done at a certified honda collision center lol

something familiar happened to me not too long ago. i got a fender bender ( son's of betches took off ) so i took it to a shop. they did such a horrible job, that they broke a tab from my headlight and didn't put my fender liner correctly. i found out that later when i was driving and my liner was being dragged by my tire. not too mention the paint was not the same.

i'm sorry about your car, post some pictures of the mess.

Do not pay them until they get it right. It's your right to demand they repaint it if you don't like it.

Just like everyone else is saying; do not lie down and take that. To me, this is my dream car, and if it's not perfect, then the job was not done right.

Notify Honda if they're "certified"
