went & picked up my zed this afternoon, when I met the foreman he said they dread seeing forum stickers on cars as the owners are usually more fussy than most.
After pointing out the paintwork i wanted redoing he agreed to take it back in next week :lol:
Just pleased to get shot of that Volvo and have my pride & joy back 8)

Small blemishes/wells in the paint that a normal person wouldn’t even notice, but I’m not happy about them :oops:

I hate things like this.
The guys doing the job are not stupid and would have known it wasn't perfect but hoped you wouldn't notice or say anything.
When getting any kind of job done you should not be able to look at it after its done and find faults.

Have you forgotten, Rob? You said I needed a longer drive because my remote kept inadvertently opening my car. Then, the thief ...

Good luck with the paint job, anyway. Garages are ba$tards.
