Work is far more important to me.

I like the idea of doing this in a forum for the community's sake, but you probably should have waited until you had time to post and show everything, that way no one can question you.

You may be right but to be honest I didn't think this would get this big.
I also wasnt looking for something to hang my hat on like body work pics.
My problem is more of a copulation of things.
But rest assured I have just taken pics and I'm on my way home so just a bit longer I'm afrade ;-(

you're defaming one of the most known people on here, and his business. How the fuck could you not know it would be this big?

Too good to pass up.

[FredJ]

how am I ignoring that if I offered to fix it from the beginning?

Nobody in their right mind would bring their car back to you after that.


Refund his money. The FOBS you hired to that job must not be making more than 8 dollars an hour. What do you have into YAN's job, 600 dollars after paint?

Because I live in the real world not the forum world..
In the real world he's just another nobody like the rest of us.

he's a business owner IRL. Most people dont own their own garage and paint 500-600 cars a year.

Also, he has some of the most recognizable cars here, and in New jersey.

Vlad,

Having seen YAN's pictures- I want to say that I have used a $35 paint gun and generic automotive paint in my own garage, with a 30 gallon compressor to achieve better results on my e30 in painting parts of it. And I have no training or business that deals in painting cars. The images shown in YAN's thread are despicable, and would make me absolutely angry if it was any of my cars.

The problem here is that you keep nitpicking tiny aspects of a very large problem- that there is a very large disparity in the quality of your work. You may have a hundred small excuses about why something wasn't right about YAN's car- but even the most dense individual is clearly able to see that that ENTIRE JOB was done extremely poorly. And electrical tape on the bumper? An audacious, laughable and insulting cherry on top.

I have done transactions from $10 to $4000 on this very exact messageboard over the last 3 years, and cannot find a single person that has ever had a complaint. Neither you nor this OP are able to carry this problem out as sensible, rational adults. There is no need for this thread to have gotten to 18 pages. If you had just laid out a single reply articulating how you were in the right, detail by detail as YAN did, you would've been able to rest your case. But your seemingly immature and completely unprofessional responses in this thread, coupled with the utterly despicable work for which a man had $6000 stolen from him essentially- invalidates anything you say from this point on. That was a $6000 MAACO job you gave to YAN, no matter which way one looks at it. I can only imagine what the OP got for himself.

I'm sorry to say- but it's quite evident your reputation on this board has been extensively tarnished. The entire situation could've been very professionally and easily avoided and resolved, but it didn't. I don't know you, but it's easy for anyone to say as a result of this thread and YAN's, for you to not be someone I would ever want to touch my car.

I hope the few thousand (dishonest) dollars you made was worth an entire community's support you'll have lost.

I know one person that is mad at you...he still talk about it to this day.
