This thread started off bad and ended up idiotic. Welcome to r3v I guess.

Man I spent 14K on paint and body work for my '65 Beetle, what a waste, I could have had these guys do it for $1200!

I dont take it personally. At 16 i had a 74 2002 i worked my ass off and redid the entire car and right. Just cause he's a kid dosent mean it couldn't have been done right. I wasnt saying he should have paid 8k but you cant expect very much for 800.

This made me laugh. A adult with a E30 M3 telling a kid to save 8k. What you should have said is "don't worry about your car now. Stay in school, go to college, get a degree, then a great job, buy a Car and then save up 8k to do it right like I did". I hope you don't take this as me attacking you at all. I just find it funny how you two are completely different people. He's a kid. We all did dumb things. What he lost in money, he more then made up for with knowledge.

You paid $800 what did you think would happen? Anything you didnt want painted, why didn't you remove? If you want things done right it costs$$$. I saved forever but took my 89 M3 down to a complete shell, did all the disassembly and assembly myself. No major body work, used oem basf paint and paid 8k for the job, but it looks perfect.

Sorry to hear your troubles, you've gotten enough grief from the dicks on here so I will try to educate u.

Paint is expensive. You cannot expect anything good for under 3k. If u pay less than that and get good work, u either sucked someone's dick or got lucky.

Next time you want to get something painted, remove as much shit as possible yourself, not only will you be more careful than them, but you can make sure nothing gets broken.

Lastly, as stated before, remove and repaint any pieces you don't want orange with SEM black paint, take your time and do it right, save your pennies and got to a reputable paint shop and ask if the major mistakes can be buffed out, or if they can buff the entire car(honestly, as long as they got enough clear on there a proper buff and polish will do wonders)

I hope you can get it squared away, best of luck.

Surely this is a learning curve, buy $1000 car, get $800 paint job, end up with this car.

In future im sure you can see the value in buying a better car, getting a better paint job no? For around $2k its not all that bad, paint the horror bits black yourself and make the most of a cheap car.

Could be worse, you could have paid $6k for the paint job :)

[MR 325]

I think it looks damn good for $800.

No, it doesn't. And he paid $1000.
