Recently, i was conned into doing up my wifes car in water based paint rather than the time proven regular German or european paint job. I took my car down to a so called reputable shop in the area of Thomson to get my Bodykit and a so called professional paint job done. This is was the start of my problems... The Body kit given to my 1 year old continental car was actually an FRP --that means fibre glass content, the price was ridiculously high, although , i was stupid enough to believe the nice talking SE...without even any credentials ,to entrust my car with them....as they carry a lot of high end brands. The fittings of the work was bad and the paint work shoddy!!! I should have sent my car to those recommended in the internet here!!! I resend my car back to do up at least 7 times ....and the so called manager of the so - called high -tech reputable company can only say that it was state of the art, thus require more time! More time!!! Hows this for more time?? A panel or 2 to be redone requires another 5 days of down time!! Whats more, the finishing under scrutiny with my untrained eye showed UNEVENESS in the colour and last of all SWIRL marks which was still there..... WTF!!!! The entire car was done in a "record" time of almost one month!! Not that it wasn't my fault in the first place....should have gone back to the one in Eunos to redo, now on hindsight against my better judgement!! Thats it for me ---water based crap paint... I wont even recommend them to my friends!! Now my paint job is still BLURRY ! and the shine is Crap!!! After checking up the info by the net ,,,water based paints are only used cause there will be less lead or toxins released to the atmosphere ,,so the Earth will be greener. SO WHAT!!! My car still is crappy and i should have stuck to the regular European time proven ones!! Sheeezzesh!!!! Any one here has the same BAD experience or is it only me??
