yea, just wanna inform you guys on a piss-poor body shop by where i live. BARNEY’S AUTOBODY. This place is a joke and here is why.
My dad got rearended in my car, i got a new back bumper. He painted it and it looked great. They he put it on my car and buffed it. Burnt the paint like a held a torch on it. It was swirly and just looked like shit. I got a new trunklid and spoiler while my car was still there so i took it up there to get them to paint it too. At the time, i didnt know they completely screwed up my bumper. But anyways, i get my car back and didnt really notice the bumper for a day or two. So i take it back up there bitchin like crazy and hes like i will re-buff it. I mentioned how my boss at the car wash was a detailer too and he could do it. He said, “yea thats no problem, if it still looks bad, i will repaint it.” Well, before i could have him repaint it (boss couldnt get swirls out), i backed into my sisters car, another long story, and scratched it all up.
about 6 months ago, i noticed i had this spot on my trunk. it looked like a deer print and was under the clear coat. I took it down and he said that i should have my boss buff it and see what happens. Buffed an waxed… Nope, still there. About 3 weeks ago, four other spots just like that one appears. WTF!!! i took it down there 2 weeks ago, he said he would call the paint manufacturer and have him come and give the go-ahead for a repaint due to a flaw in their products. Well, he said there wasnt enough clear coat on the trunk and the sun/birdshit/chemicals ate the paint. I.E. The stupid fuck at barneys didnt use enough clear coat. so no repaint.
Never Go to Barney’s autobody
If you know of anyother body shops to watch out for. Post them please so we all know who to avoid.
That sucks… there are a lot of piss poor body shops everywhere, and there are a lot of great ones, you gotta choose wisely. The paint manufactor is right, if there was not enough product applied… its not their fault. We use BASF Glasurit paint… they rarely have product failure, but when they do, they take care of it. I wish you would have enquired earlier, I would have helped you out from the beginning.
