TwisTTer

I had a shop messed up on my first lake silver metallic TT. They swore they would do the job over to make me happy and it ended up being worse.

This was a job recommend directly by the dealership at their labor rates. I thought by going directly to them, I would get the best shop. Not so.

I've had more than one piece on my car painted -- rear bumper, front quarter/hood, front bumper + chin -- and they've all turned out perfect. Anyone who says it can't be done and that they're all like that is trying to pull a fast one on you. I had doors painted on an old jeep that turned out like yours and were a total different shade of green until I bitched and took them back.

If I were in your shoes, I'd scrutinize every aspect of their work. Everything from overspray, to improper taping and blending, bad colorization, drips...

If they can't match the paint, that just means they suck. Seriously, unless it is a color that *requires* a certain chemical, such as a fluorescent dye, color is easy to match. It just takes experience. Sounds like your guy doesn't know how to judge a couple tints due to drying or some other mistake.

Go somewhere else where the painter has experience and doesn't feed you a line of crap like that.<ul><li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_theory">Color Theory</a></li></ul>

I had a new front put on, and the guy did it 3 times and it's still a bit off...
