    I'm going to be so picky with body shops when I rebuild mine next year for that same issue, hope it comes out better second time round!

    Kev it was booked in with someone but I then changed to someone else should go in the next few months
    Thing is you should be picky! You are paying a professional, IMO a car shouldn't reach a customer with a single imperfection.
    If a normal person can look over a car in minutes and find faults you know a professional painter would pick them out in seconds with a trained eye so they know its left in that condition.

    In my eyes there is no such thing as a perfect job. Near on yes.

    I am pickie yes. Which is why id never paint my own car and doing some jobs make me so angry.

    Ive seen bits on this, in my eyes its all stupid stuff that shouldnt have been missed.

    There is close to perfect but IMHO on your own car every time you wash it you will always pick up on things wrong with the paint, its just life.

    Very true, i do.. But as said, near on.. Never seen perfect.

    When i did my Tv shoot, the studio guys had shot a fully rebuilt Aston Martin a week before. I was so sorry when i dripped 2 drops of oil. The said Aston was leaking..... Oil, water, brake fluid, fuel... Guy told them it had just had a 20K rebuild.....

    Just because it's rebuilt doesn't mean it wasn't rebuilt by monkeys with big pockets

    I agree its difficult to get something perfect. I expected to going over it with a tooth comb and find the odd blemish.

    when I spent a couple of hours going over it yesterday it's about 30 different faults. At least now they have a list to work to and as long as it gets sorted Ill be happy.

    Unfortunately I Havnt heard anything today so doesn't look like its being collected tonight :-(
