what do i do....????????

[RS2000&MEXICO]

i got in my car today and got the trailer on the back to go and get my red mexico from the shot blasters only to get there and find that he has blasted the hole car even the roof inside and outside he has also blasted the 1/4 in and out and the bonet and boot inside and out
and to top it off he has ****ed my mint doors aswell by doing the inside and out aswell
he was told to blast the cars underside and the engine bay and the inside floor pans and around the edges of the windows and door shuts
but no he has done the hole car...theres not a stitch of red paint left anywhere
the roof 1/4 bonet boot and doors are all ****ed now and it looks like the shell is a wright off

i fell so p*ss off now :( ...it looks like i have just lost me mexico

[Banishit]

thats a bit of a crapper Paul, I think I would be having words, he must be liable for making a bollox of it ?

[RS2000&MEXICO]

i did talk to him but my mind was so ****ed at looking at my ****ed shell that i didn't know what to say to him....i have left the shell there and i'm going to call him tomoz to go over what he thinks best
he did hold his hands up for it but i don't know what the outcome will be
on this one...?
i have got to work out a price of the car and the bits on it.....?

[Banishit]

how much damage has it done I kow shot blasting damages panels by pitting but has it holed it ??

[hally]

soory to hear that, ive seen a car what was shot blasted and it buckled/rippled every panel beyond repair.....

[vinny]

bad news m8, getting the 18 may make up for it, keeping my fingers crosssed for you

[RS2000&MEXICO]

theres no holes but all the panels are rippled bad

[JAVAGREENGUF]

sorry about your bad news m8.:(

[dasadrew]

That is just so unbelievably bad. I even felt my stomach churning for you m8.

Start putting the prices of all the Ex-pressed Steel panels you'd need together. Add on the price for cutting out old panels, welding work and, of course, the prep work on the new panels.

Even if that's not the route you'll go down, it should give you at least an impressive and objective £ figure when you start talking to the bloke about what compensation is going to be required.

Good luck.

will do.

Just to stop any one else being caught out having your panels ruined by shot blasting, I would highly recomend using a bead blaster instead. Bead blasting uses plastic beads instead of course sand and leaves the panels dead smooth and without any distortion. Also the bare metal wont go rusty.
