here is a pic of the different colour
Bad paint repair
On my Mondeo i had a dent in the drivers door and some sanding marks on the rear door that had gone through the clearcoat. I went to a local bodyshop to have the sanding marks done and asked them if they could pull the dent out that would be great.
Picked the car up later in the day and noticed the colour was not a great match, infact it was more grey than black. Got told they had to fill the dent in and respray the door, so that was 2 doors resprayed and both grey.
Took the car back and they booked the car in to spray the correct shade of panther black, next time i took it down expecting it to be all ok, picked it up later in the day for them to say that they only managed to do 1 door and to bring down the car to do the 2nd door.
Took car back down and they did the work, so i was happy, much better colour match this time. As it was starting to rain i left and didnt have time to check the car over.
a couple of days later the sun was shining bright and i noticed the doors a lot darker than the front and rear wing. The front and rear wing have a kind of purple tint to them in the glistening sun, this is not the case with the doors.
Took the car down again and showed them, at 1st they said they couldnt see it, then the sun came out again and they changed their mind.
Now they want to blend it into the wings, but i am not sure. The reasons for this are, everytime i have had the car back the doors are full of scrathes, like poor polishing after. Also on the rear door the laquer is starting to come away already, only been about 4-5 days since it was done. under the door handles they have wet sanded it but not polished it up so looks dull and naff. Also in the paint is like fish eyes and blobs of laquer or paint.
I have a picture here to show the difference in colour and scratches, doing a little video of the other bits too
Does anyone know where i stand with this? i dont want them touching the other wings if this is what will happen to them too. The paint was nearly 100% before, the front door was scratch free other than the dent.
I only paitn £120 for the job, buthowever cheap i expect an OK job, better than it was before, now it is worse.
