edge Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 My great late blind nan could have matched a closer shade. Looks nice apart from that. Get them to sort it FOC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 There is the obvious problem of colour match, but besides that, the car looks very smart indeed;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Isn't this typical for all silver Supes though? The 'plasticy' bits always look different compared with the metal panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 :DWell a happy update ( fingers crossed ) Spoke to the garage in question this morning and was surprised by the reaction I got to be honest. I emailed the picture's ( I have some worse than the ones on hear ) and the sprayer rang me straight back and couldn't beleive how bad the colour match was and told me take it back as soon as possible for them to sort it out. They are going to speak to DuPont ( not spelt right proberbly:p ) who did the colour match and give them the photos and ask what happened. They have said they will respray the whole of the front of the car back as far as the rear arches where it is easy to blend and if it doesn't turn out right they will just respray the whole car to make sure I am happy with it. I am still not going to name them yet, but they are thinking about contacting the forum about becoming a trader, as they specialise in Honda Civics at the moment and are looking to branch out into Scoobys, Supras, Nsx etc. So I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping they keep to what they have said, unfortunatly I can't let them have the car until some time in April as I am really busy for a while.

If they sort it out then there not too bad a company, things do go wrong but its how places deal with it when it does that counts and it sounds like they want to sort it so lets hope they do.

Blackie Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Spoke to the garage in question this morning and was surprised by the reaction I got to be honest.

They are thinking about contacting the forum about becoming a trader, so I don't think it's far to name them before giving them a chance to sort my car out and they might read this thread and I don't want to blow it by bad mouthing them to early in the process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be totally honest I didn't sleep much last night worrying about their response, but they were good as gold ( hope I havn't spoken to soon ). In their defense they didn't get to see the car outside either as it wasn't even put back together when I went to pick it up ( they had warned me before I went down ), due to bumper turning up three days late.

DodgyRog Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 We planning the next meet in April too I'm not sure I will be able to do this next run for a few reasons I've got a very busy month or so ahead Jennie doesn't finish work until 1pm, so I don't htink I will be able to catch you up And ££££££££££££££££££ might be a bit short and I am hoping to go to Japfest ( Jen finds out tomorrow if she can get the Saturday off ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some of the same reasons. Mainly ££££ and because of Pauls Job, in the summer months he quite often has to work Saturdays too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Glad to see they are puttin this right. However the story about Dupont is utter boll$%^s, as is the suprise, do you think no one saw it while the car was going back together or being polished or cleaned???? You were given the car incase you accepted it. Get it checked by a pro before you accept it next time. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were given the car incase you accepted it. Get it checked by a pro before you accept it next time. Jon It was put back together with me their ( and I was helping them ) and they didn't wash it down, as I needed to leave as soon as I could as we were running very late. (It was my choice to leave without it being cleaned properly ). We could all see the colour match wasn't absolutly perfect, but to be honest when we were inside it didn't look that far out. The poor colour match seems to be not the paint colour but the colour that reflects back ( if that makes any sense ). When you get up close as in a foot away the colours look almost perfect.
