After waiting 8 months for the bodywork to get finished on my hearse, I finally got it back today. The story I was given was that the guy that did it wants the clearcoat to cure ('cause he put on a thick fucking layer) for 2 weeks, then he wants it back so he can sand and buff it, and paint the crinkle coat (which he forgot to do.)
There are waves in the side where he didn't sand down the bondo. There's a spot over the rear wheel where bondo's sticking out through the paint. He sprayed paint on my wheels (you can tell where it was parked when he painted it.) He painted my side mirrors. He didn't even open the doors to paint it. The bodywork looks like shit, the paintjob looks like shit.
I'm thinking I should take it back in two weeks so he can finish his "work," and then take him to small claims court, and try to get cash for what it would cost a non-sucky body shop to fix what he did. Its either that or firebomb his shop. I'm also thinking of putting a sign in the back window that says "Body work done by Collin at "Auto Artist" Don't take your car there unless you want it to look as bad as mine."
It pisses me off. This guy got a $3000 custom built guitar in exchange for maybe 10 hours of work (spread out over 8 months) that I think a four year old could've done a better job with.
I'll post pictures tomorrow. Its too dark now to photograph the sucktitude that this asshole caused.
