that really sux man. the front bumper is way off, like you said it really looks like DP. the sides dont look that bad but i cant believe he forgot to clear coat it. hope he takes care of this for you.

PS those painted calipers look really nice w. the new wheels though

Yeah. I'll call him tomorrow and get everything straightened out.

Ohh...and those calipers really stand out and I did an extra mod to highlight them even more...

That actually is the same thing going on with my bumper, Richard painted a slight shade lighter than my car.... but then, I didn't notice it till a few days later, he offered to repaint it too. It wasn't that bad since its only noticable from certain angles and certain lighting conditions so I just decided I don't really have the time to take it off, put on the old one, and do the reverse a few days later, actually a few months later the paint seems to have aged to the point where its pretty much matched now... but then I could really care less since I have other plans later on down the line.

But yeah, that guy should repaint it 100%... The whole package, rims and kit and everything are looking real good man.

Sorry to hear/see what happened. I couldn't tell any difference with the paint on your kit, but then again I never had the chance to look at it up close. Regarding the paint for our cars, the Diamond Graphite and Ivory Pearl paint are a 3 stage process and is sometimes very hard to get to match just right. Luckily, Richard at All Fleet Services was able to match the correct shade/color mixture pefectly for the first time when I had my bumper repainted. But nobody is perfect all the time. Even Richard had trouble matching Josh's color on his coupe/Greddy kit and had to respray it quite a few times. Hopefully, your painter will fix things and get it to match perfectly...

Okay. Spoke with Erik (paint guy) and, though he defended himself by saying he never had the car to color match, he owned up to everything and agreed to redo the entire job as long as I give him the car this go-round. He will even eat the cost for the paint.

Want to thank Mike (Omi) for calling yesterday and laying the groundwork for my 'talk' with Erik.

I'm glad I may get this resolved. As many know, I havent really penny pinched my way around this car and I only use shops that have a history with working on a G, hence the reason I have yet to do anything except an oil change by Nissan in Ocala. I hope once I get everything resolved, I'll be able to just enjoy driving her around.
