But when I first seen the car finish in the oven . I was in shock full stop .So now the body shop are going to re - paint the car in what I had ask for in the first place PPG .I DONOT know what went wrong But it looks like **** .u be the judge.

You made the right choice in going to a different shop. That original color was way off, but now it looks great.

hi moparlee the photo when you can see the difference in the door jam is the colour I want .the out side paint is wrong way off. So at this stage it needs to be locked back and redone all over again

That looks like Flush mounted glass you have on there. Is it? If so, who did it for you?
Kinda looks like flush mounted glass but if you look close it still has the trim clips and the usual gap around the glass for the trim. There is only one place that I found that might make the custom flush mounted glass. Probably not cheap either.

Yeah, they're in AZ. Spoke to them. They are not cheap but they also have nothing for Mopar's. Oh they'll help me out if I send the car to them, but I'm on the Eastcoast. Thanks

yes the color looks off sometimes the paint supplier makes a bad batch because they were in a hurry and added to much of one tint it happens. if it;s still at the first shop wet block the car and cheak the new paint before respraying. autobody is stressfull just ask the shop owner he just lost 3 thousand dollars because of someone else;s mistake

I run one. we won't even work on your car if its older than 15 years old. Its absolutely my passion but its just not a good business model trying to pry 10's of thousands out of a customers hand. If you can find a good shop even willing to work on older cars out here your doing well. on the rare occasion i take a buddies or repeat customers car in especially a paint complete. the customer will have to sign a spray out panel before any product hits the car.
