Because my four-door, Ford Falcon wagon was never going to be a high-dollar car, no matter what I did to it, I didn&#8217;t want to spend a fortune on paint. I did want something shiny that I could be proud of, but I knew that getting a great paint job, or &#8220;Show Quality&#8221; was not in my budget. That&#8217;s when I started looking for a &#8220;driver&#8221; quality paint shop.\u00a0 I found a Craigslist ad and gave the guy a call.<\/p>\n<p>He sounded cool enough, knowledgeable, and his ad said, &#8220;15 year experience&#8221;. I sent a bunch of pictures of my Falcon, we talked and sent way too many texts about all the things I wanted to do and he said $1800 and it&#8217;d be done in about 3 weeks. (keep that in mind for later). I thought I&#8217;d found my custom painter!<\/p>\n<p>I asked for references, and he gave them, but then like an idiot, I didn&#8217;t call. I don&#8217;t know what they would have said, but I wish I would have called. I dropped the car off at the end of June 2010 and he said it&#8217;d be done in July, like super-quick&#8230; I finally picked the car up in mid-January, almost 7 months later.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not stupid enough to think I&#8217;m the first person that ever got their car back late from a painter. I know that&#8217;s tough. But am I being reasonable? Was I asking for too much? Please keep reading.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Take a look at all the pictures and you decide<\/strong>. <a title=\"Falcon Wagon Paint \u2013 Gold on the Long Roof\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/ford-falcon-wagon-custom-paint\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here&#8217;s the overall paint shots of the car.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I finally paid $2500 for this paint job and at least I&#8217;ll have to repaint both front fenders and pay to have someone fix the runs in the interior paint. <a href=\"mailto:&#x61;&#x64;&#x6d;&#x69;&#x6e;&#x40;&#x6d;&#x79;&#x72;&#x69;&#x64;&#x65;&#x69;&#x73;&#x6d;&#x65;&#x2e;&#x63;&#x6f;&#x6d;\" target=\"_blank\">Email me with any questions<\/a> or leave a comment and I&#8217;ll get right back to you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-none alignnone\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Mismatch Paint Work by Phoenix Custom Painter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/phoenix-custom-paint\/mismatch-phoenix-custom-paint-review.jpg\" alt=\"Paint Mismatch, Phoenix Custom Paint Shop\" width=\"575\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Is this OK to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s why I have to repaint the fenders and most likely the whole side of the car&#8230; if not the whole car to be really happy. The only reason I stuck with Terrific Paint and Customs and Mark was because I thought he&#8217;d be the only one who <em>COULD POSSIBLY<\/em> match the paint. I was so wrong and 4 weeks after I dropped of the fenders&#8230; when he said it&#8217;d take one week&#8230; I got the mis-matched mess in the picture above. I <em>HAD TO<\/em> have him repaint the fenders because there literally was no bodywork done on the fenders before. I could see the dents in the side view mirrors towing the car home. Plus! The paint was pealing\/bubbling under the clear. They were the worst part of the whole car, not counting the interior. Now I wish I would have kept them, but Mark assured me he could match it.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s picture proof of why you DO NOT want to use this Phoenix custom paint shop and a summary of everything wrong with the car, and RIGHT&#8230; I&#8217;m trying to be fair here, but you decide and let me know.
