DR99 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Posted December 9, 2016 In reality it wasn't all that bad just more annoying that anything. I was helping my aunt getting her car fixed at the body shop, and the car was supposed to be done today. The only problem is they painted it the wrong color the car is a metallic purple, but they painted it in some bluish grey color. They admitted it was a fuck up right away and is covering the additional days on the rental car. 2 Quote
Conductor562 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Posted December 9, 2016 That sucks. I'd be pissed too. Quote
DR99 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Report Posted December 9, 2016 It wasn't a little off it was a whole different shade. What sucks is the guy who laid the paint down did a nice job, but its still the wrong color. It also paid out well for them 1,400 bucks to replace a bumper cover and bump and pant the rear fender.

Bigmikez Posted December 9, 2016 Report Posted December 9, 2016 Wow no freaking way bro!! That's a bigass no no for us and what the hell happen to there process of color matching ?? that's super annoying especially for the customer and for the owner having to pay the painter to re spray... 1 Quote
JimboS1ice Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 Wow that's a bummer, I had my car in the body shop for a month after I got rear ended totally suckedSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
regopit Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 The worst part is the paint code is on the car and when the guy mixed it he should have seen the the color was off. 1 Quote
DR99 Posted December 10, 2016 Author Report Posted December 10, 2016 I will say the rental jeep Cherokee is pretty nice though its loaded with all the nice toys in it, and they are picking up the bill on that because of their eff up. 4 Quote

BMack37 Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 I don't mind the idea of equality of hiring in the work place but really, they shouldn't hire the colorblind to paint cars. 4 Quote
Nordraw Posted December 10, 2016 Report Posted December 10, 2016 How did the color look? If you didn't mind the color I would have asked for a deeply discounted price. Quote

The match was pretty bad the hatch that wasn't painted was a completely different shade from the bumper and 1/4 panel. Quote
