i just got my bodykit installed and my car painted a month ago. and the guy at the bodyshop told me that they will cut all the rust and put a new metal...and they will put 5 coats of paint and 5 coats of clear coat........and yesterday i went to my friend's shop and put my car on the harness and i saw RUST!!! they didn't cut the rusted metal...they tried to hide it by welding the new metal in front of it...and my freaking paint has bubbles and my bumper has too many stone chips....i have more stone chips than my dad's car and my dad got his car last year.....i talked to the guy at the bodyshop today and he told me to bring the car tomorrow...i'm not paying him again to fix my car and i don't know whats gonna happen......i'm so pissed

I'd like to know this as well .. it is more true with body shops then anything else you get what you paid for

babs

Don't pay for ****... Tell tehm to fix everything or your going to consumer rights. You don't have to take that ****!!! You paid for service so make sure you get what you paid for.

Good luck....

BTW... welcome to the club!!!

sry that wont hold up at all. since they can say that for the amount he paid thats the service he gets.
so it would all depend on the amount charged compared to others etc...

i paid $2600....and i think its enough for them to make a good job......when you look at the car it's nice but when you know whats underneath that bodykit and custom paint makes you want to beat someone up...

5 layers of paint and 5 layers of clear coat...

the more layers you put on the bigger the chips will be from stones chips and other road debris

2600 they should have done a cut and weld .. not a weld over....knowing how much you paid ... I would now have to second babs advice ...stick it to them

What kind of warranty did the shop offer if any? Do you know of any others that had the same problems. I hope you stick it to them.

I can understand your frustration...but, understand this, after your car was painted, did you let it rest at home for at least 3-5 days? If not, most likely, your clear coat didn't cure properly and being it's the front bumper, you're liable to get stones hittin' it...hence, the chips. Even after you bake your car after it's been painted, it still needs time to cure a lil. I hope the shop told you that when you picked up the car. But, I have to agree, welding a sheet of metal over the rust IS very improper of them...I'd be flaming too. Unfortunately you didn't discover this earlier...like when you picked up the car. Because most shops will not guarantee rush will not form on the same spot again. It's impossible to know when it will form or even IF it will form. But, ya man, my advise is to really stick it to them...if they told you one process and they do another, it's very unprofessional of them. They should take responsibility for their work as we do.
