Resprayed door and side of car

Yes, that's cheap, only if you're lucky

Any reputable company will have given you a guarantee but this is a different matter.

If the colour is wrong they did not do a proper job in the first place so take it back and ask them to make it good.

Same here, on my BMW, at a main dealer.

Its not a flip pearl and meant to do that?

Not same here, on my Volvo, in the back yard of a car body repairer I know.

(OK, there was a mismatch at first, but it polished it out.)

It can be hard to match metallics...I don't think there'll be much you can do.

My Father is a "bodyshop technician" or as it used to be called, a panel beater.

It is hard to match metallics, as they dry a completely different shade, and you cant always follow the manufacturers quantities as there are several variants.

But if he finds it dries to the wrong shade, he rectifies it, albeit after a bit of cursing!

im not sure how your rights stand after such a long time, as for all the garage knows, you could have had it sprayed elsewhere. Did you not check the car when it was returned? Normally a garage give the customer a chance to check the work, and sign for it.

Good luck anyways!

The big snag is slight paint mismatches don't always show up under all types of light. A bright but overcast day is best.

Good point.... mine only shows up when the sun's shining directly on it and the garage where it was sprayed is in a shady courtyard.

Thanks for all the help,

Yep. Its not so much the colour match rather than the "flow" of the=20 particles. You need to get the whole side resprayed ideally on a=20 metallic car to get a good match. Colour match is very hard especially=20 on paint more than a couple of years old and has been weathered.

Probably not.

Forget it.

If you're not on somebody's s*it list, you're not doing anything=20 worthwhile.
