I paid my friend to put on and off the parts 3 times only to find out the color did not match an had to take back to them. 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?

The best body shop and only place I will trust to do any work on my Z in the MidA area is Wilson's Autobody. Give a call to Frank Wilson, he will take care of you. (3539 South Hanover Street Baltimore, MD 21225 (410) 355-5310).

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.

I will second this recommendation. Wilson's does excellent work and I also went there based on birdman's recommendation. Don't get scared off by the crappy roads leading to the shop, they are a very reliable shop that does high quality work.

All too often trying to save a dollar or two ends up costing a whole lot more. I would rather have things done once & done right even if it ends up costing slightly more. If you have to go to a shop two or three times for the same d*mn job, then there has to be something wrong.

Tony & OP cut your losses & check out Wilson's Autobody, they WILL fix your issue and treat you with respect all along. If you luck out Frank might show you his custom paintbrush work for bikes & his classic mustang

Thanks B1ades, Frank & Stacy are awesome. I saw them do a flat black custom paint job on a brand new jeep, the owner was so happy how it turned out, she started crying I was impressed.
