ok so after waiting 1 whole week for the hardtop toget painted.

my friend and I went to pick it up. We jsut put it on drove a few blocks while holding on to the hardtop with our arms out the window (this was VERY late at night)

the hardtop was VERY dusty, but I didnt pay any mind at the time, until we got home. To our SURPRISE the hardtop is painted SO POORLY, runs on paint, rough patches and bumps everywhere, underlying previous paint still showing alone the rubbing trimmings... We washed it down, clay barred it, polished it, waxed it and it still very bumpy everywhere. (chipped paint here and there)

$250 for a worst than maaco paint job...I'm going to take it back over the weekend to have him repaint it, but even so I dont trust that guy anymore.. anybody have similar horror stories when painting their hardtops? this is ridiculous.

I rather write this off as a lost and paint it myself than allow him to "repaint" it again..
ARGHH...

only good news is suncoast is sending me the spinlocks in 3 days.

Note, apologies for the bad grammar- I'm on my blackberry.
