Guys just wanted to share a couple of experiences with all of you. K here it goes. I have this bodyman who is painting my hood, trunk lid, piece in front of the trunk, spoiler and all moldings. My problem is he has had my parts since the middle of january. Still has the parts and the only left to do is buff out the hood for microscratches swirlys etc. Wet sand the spolier, reinstall moldings and reinstall trunk lock. This guy is dragging his feet on this whole ordeal. Has said for the last two weeks that everything will be done by Saturday? I've heard this for the last two saturdays now!
This guy also says his electric is going to get shut off and he owes the paint store like 500.00 bucks! So basically he's trying to make me feel sorry for him and give him a little money on my project? Was told on Monday that if I didn't pay him any money that I can take my stuff and go? Now I can't do that with everything disassembled and the hood needing to be compounded and all? I have been told that body guys (paint guys) are in their own little world and work on stuff whenever they feel like it? I guess what I'm saying is I'm am very frustrated and ticked off
that this is my 3rd body guy and am always falling for I'll have it done in two weeks tops and if you don't like the work you don't have to pay me. Now I gave this clown 200.00 bucks because he has done alot of work on these pieces. But how the hell do I get him motivated to finish the $%^&ing stuff? This dude for the last 2 days hasn't been out to buff at all? Another thing is he said he wanted what I gave him so while one part was drying he could work on another part and vice versa? Also told me it would be 380.00 bucks for all and now it's up to 580.00!! He said he writes his time down on a notepad if it's 10 minutes or 6 hours? Now how the hell am I going to know that? What do I need to tell this fool to get this stuff done? And would you guys pay him the full amount? Or do you think he's full of BS? He also wants me to take off the bumpers and fillers to do them next
he must think I'm stupid or something? Please help me out what the hell do I do on this. I've also got new 3.8 emblems for the hood, hood pad, hood light, new GN emblems, and kirbans side black out trim. Would I get in trouble if I just take my parts back and say %^&* U to him or what?
