DodgyRog Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Got my car back yesterday afternoon and have managed to wash and wax it today. Not to happy with the colour match, will be discussing this with them tomorrow. They have resprayed both wings the new front bumper and new side skirts, what do you think, to be honest the pics make it look even worse than it is, but the new paint looks quite blue to me.... :(The 4th and 5th pics show it at its worst:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Yeah I am going to Fifty.....not amused but had to take car as I need it until I can arrange something else. I won't name and shame unless I don't get it sorted easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Right pic 5 shows it best mate. They didn't match the colour properly at all. The laser spectroscopy should give them total control over the blends to match perfectly. Would not pay bud. No excuse for that. I got perfectly matched paint for my CBR round the corner, and Honda don't release paint spec. Still a lovely car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keancy Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Exactly what I think. I am gutted been looking forward to doing this for a while:( If RAC are paying you should tell them to look at the job done and tell them they should refuse to pay.

Jazzy Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 What a shame, car looks ace, but the paint match is awful! As you said, almost looks like a light metallic blue in the pics. I'd be taking that straight back for them to do again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Why did they not blend it through the doors?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Why did they not blend it through the doors?? They were not even supposed to be spraying the wings, but I am guessing did it to try and disguise the mis-match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Why did they not blend it through the doors?? What about the bonnet, blending would help but the colours a mile away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 What about the bonnet, blending would help but the colours a mile away I know, don't know what they were thinking. Unfortunately when I picked it up it was inside and I drove it out, so I didn't notice until I got home, which was after they were shut, so will have to wait until tomorrow to see what sort of response I get. A rookie mistake and whats worse I should know better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
