Fu_kin body shop...

I took my car into the body shop yesterday morning to have the fenders fixed and repainted and I was told that it would be done late this afternoon. I call at 1:30pm to see if everything was going okay and they guy said that I could pick it up tomorrow....I was like WTF?!? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] I told him that wasnt the deal so he said I could pick it up today at 4:30pm....thats cool [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] At 4:30 I went to pick up my civic from the body shop and when I got there there was no pin-striping on either front fender. The guy who does the pin-striping left for the day. Then I found a chip in the paint that was sealed in under the clear coat. Then I found another longer scratch up near the front. That was only the left side. I look at the right side and there is another chip, and a bunch of little scratches in the shape of a semi-circle. $400 later I gotta admit it looks a lot better then it did but damn, if you have to strip the whole fender of paint and start over then there shouldnt be any chips in the paint. Now I gotta take it back in tomorrow morning and have them fix all the **** they messed up and put the pin-striping back on both fenders. For $400 and one night without my car you'd think they could have done a way better job
