I gave a shell to paint to a painter here on Oople. I can't for the life of me remember who it was ! :blush: As I said, he is on Oople and has a proper website showing loads of his painted shells.

Could somebody pass me somewebsite links to UK body painters, I'll know it as soon as I see it.

Many thanks.

Rob.

Have a look at this thread

He probably can't remember the quoted price either Graham so...double? triple?

Only joking buddy but you need to stop drinking or something..

Glad you found the holder of your shell and am sure Graham will look after you spot on.

Right, well put it this way.

I just painted one wrong for someone. So I kept the shell he gave me and I have ordered a new one for him to replace it, which I will be painting in the right colours.

I mean, when I say wrong, it wasn't wrong, we were testing schemes, I suggested one and he didn't like it. My fault completely so I am replacing the shell that he bought. :)

Simples.;)

Can't say fairer than that.

Did you give Mr Custom Blitz the opportunity to correct the problem before buying the new shell?

DCM 10-04-2011 07:23 PM

Sometimes it is difficult to work out exactly what a customer wants, as they can be vague, so a 'scheme' can be a 'work in progress' over a few shells. If you have been very specific, then that is what the sprayer should do.

These things are maybe best not aired publicly initially though...

Shaun 'TheSheep' Atkinson 10-04-2011 07:42 PM

To be fair, you could have asked him to replace the shell and send it to you not painted, and you could have told him to sell the painted one you didn't like if he wanted to. You went out and purchased a new shell, even after he offered to replace it for you.

Fair enough the shell was wrong and things were added in that you didn't agree to. I can see your point with this, Just don't think you can complain about being out of pocket for a new shell after he said he would replace it for you...and you said "no just throw it in the bin"

I maybe wrong but that's how I see it :)

And now this post will make no sense what so ever as you have just deleted everything you wrote in your previous essay :confused:

sunbeam 10-04-2011 07:50 PM

OK, so it's all my fuilt.

I'll splash out another £25 (forgetting all the money already lost with the painter in paint and shell) and do the thing myself with cans !!!

What a FANTASTIC service !

Besides anything else, I can't see why I should be left with nothing. It's going to cost me at least £50 for a new shell set and painting plus the lost shell and painting I have already paid for (over £50).

The painter walks away with everything, that can't be right?

Is it ?

Well you wouldn't have been left with nothing if you had asked him to purchase a new shell and send it to you UN-PAINTED...

Also if you had given him instructions to sell the bodyshell, then you could have asked to be refunded the money you have paid for the paint work..

He wouldn't have been out of pocket as he would have sold the shell you didn't want, and you wouldn't have been out of pocket as you would have had your money back and a new shell back!

Communication with the painter is key! If you had thought it through properly to get the issue resolved, and not been so quick to say 'throw it away', then maybe this could have been sorted out pretty quick and painless without any need for it to be made public on a forum for both of you.

sunbeam 10-04-2011 08:09 PM

As I said, It's all my fuilt and I deserve to lose everything and he is more than within his rights to take the lot. That's all fine and cool I'm sure :thumbsup:

I just love to ask for one thing and get something diferent, pay for it, and walk away with nothing, I asked for it, it's my fuilt :thumbsup:

I'll now go away and by another shell set costing me £25 and some cans etc costing me yet another £25, and do it myself, it's all good and fair I'm sure :thumbsup:

I'm a very happy camper :thumbsup:

Shaun 'TheSheep' Atkinson 10-04-2011 08:14 PM

Ok, read what I have said carefully before trying to act clever! :thumbsup:

I said I understand that the shell is not what you asked for.
You put a post on the forum asking people's opinion's on what they would expect to happen/what they would have done!

Like I said read what I put properly before giving out sarcasm!

sunbeam 10-04-2011 08:18 PM

There is nothing clever about what I have said.

You told me it's all my fuilt, and I'm excepting what you have said.

Shaun 'TheSheep' Atkinson 10-04-2011 08:39 PM

lol :woot: I never said it's ALL your fault!!

Do you know what, I can't even be bothered!

You asked for people's opinion, I gave mine, deal with it without throwing
sarcasm back at people.

I'm pretty sure anybody else who has read what I have said will understand it properly.

sunbeam 10-04-2011 08:50 PM

"I'm pretty sure anybody else who has read what I have said will understand it properly."

I'm sure they would. But you would have to be brain dead to think it was OK for me to be left with absolutly nothing!

Still, whatever helps people sleep at night.

We can't read what you said because you deleted it all, but if you were in the right why would you delete all those posts ???

sunbeam 10-04-2011 10:57 PM

I delited the posts because I was told it was not good to air my problem on Oople.

The painter is taking steps to ban me from Oople, so that's that.

He said he was going to send my shell to me even though I don't want it and he never wants to hear from me again. That's also fine.

I've told him to keep it and sell it himself on Ebay. He can use the money rased to have a pint on me !

I will NEVER ask a 'pro' to ever paint another shell for me again. I'll take my chances with a can from now on.

So there we are, job done.

I'm out of here, and glad of it !
