Now the parts are on the car, at the shop and they want to charge me 350 to take the parts off to paint and install. My friends won't do it again since its a pain in the rear. It wasn't my fault that the color did not math. They said it would be ok to paint while the parts are on the car and now they are saying otherwise. I'm very pissed and the owner wants me to pay the 350 or they can't paint afraid the painter will mess up my oem paint job that are too close to the kit... What should I do in this situation?

He does work for the Baltimore Ravens and all the work he does is beyond amazing, his rates are excellent for the quality of the work and he doesn't try to make a quick buck out of you. He specialises on a lot of 350s/370s/Gs/Corvettes/Mustangs and will be able to fix the half a$$ job the other shop did for you.
