Weezer Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 (edited) So, everyone on here knows about the nonsense I had with my alloy refurb..... Well they went back the other day to be re-done and yup you guessed it, even more trouble. I was afraid to risk anymore upset, and the dark colour reeeeaaly put me off! He couldn't use the paint mix I sent him 'cos it wasn't thick enough to cover the navy/green that he did them before, so he put his own on, and it's just that bit lighter. Nevertheless I like them They are sparklier than the std silver, and certainly looks better than before. My smile is returned. Although still no spoiler - laquer not dry til tomorrow http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z242/blondie_Vi/menharry246.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z242/blondie_Vi/menharry244.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z242/blondie_Vi/menharry249.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z242/blondie_Vi/menharry247.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z242/blondie_Vi/menharry248.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z242/blondie_Vi/menharry245.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z242/blondie_Vi/menharry250.jpg About time I say Edited May 5, 2008 by ky_gti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meekstaaa Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Will the spoiler match the front or rear door colour? I was thinking the same thing! I can't believe your going to ruin the car by adding the spoiler, its lovely (apart from the mismatch colour) as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort_Kid Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Yeah im a no spoiler fan myself Wheels look great, silver is a safe bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyT Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Wheels looked better darker IMO, but as long as you are happy with them. And put the spoiler on, will look alot better. Good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosworth909 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 He couldn't use the paint mix I sent him 'cos it wasn't thick enough to cover the navy/green that he did them before, so he put his own on, and it's just that bit lighter. im sorry but that is bulls### all he would have to of done is spray them a neutral couler then put your paint on he couldnt be assed spraying them twice as far as im concernd if i was you i would find another bodyshop!!!!!

Weezer Posted May 2, 2008 Author Share Posted May 2, 2008 im sorry but that is bulls### all he would have to of done is spray them a neutral couler then put your paint on he couldnt be assed spraying them twice as far as im concernd if i was you i would find another bodyshop!!!!! That's exactly what I said to him! He couldn't be arsed priming them again But never mind, I still have my paint Might be able to do it myself. As for the rear door, yes it is a different colour, but only on that side. It had a bump before I got it, and the arches had been previously bodged, hence the slight mismatch. (I've done the rear drums black too-mutch better ) Thanks for the comments, as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
