Sharing meh experience...car painting

[nos_specialist]

So...goodnite all... (awaits cool story bro, memes and invasion of pics to hijack thread)

I am the unfortunate case of treating people too nice..when it comes to work being done on my vehicles.

For the past month and a half my car has been down for a paint over, a painter who came recommended, was hired to do the job home at my house. Now I gotta go pick him up, he wud work about ah hour or 2, den I gotta drop him home...

Sigh...

I of course hadda scrap my car, do fiberglass repairs where necessary, plastic welding repairs where necessary and clean after he leaves....so basically he jus prepping to paint..

Sighs again..

It has been a long frustrating journey over the past few weeks...gettin set up by this man on many occassions not comin and doin work.. until friday...

Soo .guy came friday did some work...says he will come 8:30am saturday morning to paint the car
..I took a day off from work... (losin money) and went for him...

Guess wat....set up again..man show up by my house half 3 to paint a car...

This lead to some epic industrial language having to come out from me...at my house..didnt let him come in to do sheit...told him I do not want him workin on my car again....

Well he got some tools on my property...I got another painter...shud be starting tmr...

Anddddd former painter..went and report me in d police station lol...police call me and askin why I am witholdin d guy tools so I explained d situation...lots more details that this rant

Sooo he gonna come for his tools tmr..an orbit sander some sandin blocks and ah paintgun...

Am I frustrated? Yes...

Moral of story.

All....alllllllll painters are unreliable.

If someone doin work for u...doh give dem extra..example dont buy lunch for dem etc etc...

Always alwaysssssssssss get contracts done...indicating price as well as date of completion..and penalties for not meeting deadlines...it cud be wat job....

And always look to pay only wen the job is done..

Daz meh rant...I out...

painter & the word time do not mix .

[jm3]

this sounds like some of the horror stories i had with mechanics until i just started doing it all myself

[nos_specialist]

i will start to do painting myself, but didnt want to practice on my car, will practice however on my Van...


OH BTW, south people, for information sake, the Painter....WHO I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND AT ALL....goes by the name Ryan, or Donnie from Garthroad Williamsville...


STAY CLEAR

[Lance]

From the time I realize that I have to pick up this guy I was going somewhere else.

Sorry to hear about your experience though.

[1UZFE]

Hard luck . But definately not all painters are this unprofessional.

[Aaron 2NR]

sorry to hear man....this is sometimes why it is better to go by a reputable shop to take all this head ache away. Now i never said go by an expensive body shop eh....

for work on our vans etc i use a straightener heading into debe from phillipine by the name of jappo. real top quality work even tho he doesnt have a paint room...

[lostboys crew]

Had to wait nearly 7 months for a car by a painter down Chase village side. Never understood what took so long cause car had no scratches no dents and filler just to sand and paint. Charged 8 grand and paint job came out like crap.

[1UZFE]

[Ignorant Ignis]

never had a problem with my painter in my life ......

cheap ting no good and good ting no cheap

[nos_specialist]

The reason this car couldnt go to a bodyshop is for the amount of custom work needed on it...which by the way...

That's all? Price sikkens and you'll see

[tourniquet]

sad thing is "painter" could easily be replaced with mechanic, welder, washing machine repair man, etc, etc, etc.
Love the blame the victim attitude some people have though
