Had some painting done on my 6 recently and they've done a really bad job (twice) on it. Pretty disappointed about it. Should I do a nice long thread with pictures documenting how crap they are?

Main issue is the colour match is horrendous. Ive got a quarter panel, and rear bumper which are now a completely different colour black to whats there already. Last bodyshop I used got it spot on. Only they sprayed to thick and theres holidays all over it.________________________________________ Team Peugeot Sport 308 Gti�Black T'99 Gti - may she rest in peace - written off in a shunt on the A329m |

It was wrong. I moaned. They did it again and still got it wrong. I gave up. Each time I got it back it was covered in more overspray and they'd cut more corners. Cut my losses in the end. ________________________________________ Team Peugeot Sport 308 Gti�Black T'99 Gti - may she rest in peace - written off in a shunt on the A329m |

how bad of a job is it? like, really bad, or just minor bits? surely they should check it after they're done to make sure they're happy putting their name to it  pics? ________________________________________ 306 rallye reproduction decals (full sets/individual decals) | 306 b-pillar textured vinyl weatherstrips306 slam panel esso stickers | 306 yellow / orange / pension fund red side door badges gti6 inlet manifold badges | 306 rear boot badges (p2/p3) winner of Extraction of toys from prams with outstanding vigour award 2009 [source: gti6 owners club] |

Listen mate when I get a chance I'll pull my finger out and do a thread on it with pics. They deserve to be named and shamed I think. Unfortunately for me after I decided to use them I found a negative thread about them on the Berkshire modified car club called Team Shock. Oh well.________________________________________ Team Peugeot Sport 308 Gti�Black T'99 Gti - may she rest in peace - written off in a shunt on the A329m |

Yeah, get a thread with pics etc up, it's always good to know where to go/not to go for other enthusiasts.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Insurers dont tell you this because they get discounts with their approved bodyshops but its your choice as to who you use for insurance repairs. |

Yeah, you have to tell them straight away. I had a claim on my Vivaro when it was 6 months old and I phoned them and said I wanted it done at the Vauxhall garage where I bought it and after some grumbling they agreed. ________________________________________ 205 GTi Red - G939 RTU - Died!306 GTi 6 Diablo - Being resurrected!

Oh and on another note, how long has it been since it was painted? When my misses old man crashed into my 1.8, i had my body shop of choice fix it. When i picked it up, the rear bumper was horrendously out on colour but a week later it was perfect. Was obviously still green when i picked it up and took its time fully drying. |

Yes 100 percent. On another forum I use we have a praise and grumble section which has helped out countless members with where to go or totally avoid. I feel your pain had a similar issue on my old car and they didn't give a crap until trading standards were involved. |

In the FAQ there is a recommended garages list somewhere...this could be expanded to include businesses eg. powdercoaters etc. and also include ones to avoid?________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |
