DW77 BBS Rim Refinish woes

[danewilson77]

Figured I would just start a thread.....for documentation....

Initial.

This is what happens when you run into a BBS rim... With another car in the shop.

Rim re-finish UNSAT. I told them when the guy gets the right paint....to give me a call.

That's annoying. My car went back to the shop 3 times before they got the paint job right.

Way to not accept it. How bad is it? Can't see detail on phone

Look at the 1,2,3 O clock spokes and webs. The guy used a paint that is has metallic in it.......looks grey in the pic above.

I see it now. It helped to cross my eyes a little bit. That's not the same color...Looks like they'll be getting some shit from you!

The owner of the shop didn't see it either. He was looking for the damage... Which looks good.... But he wasn't looking at the rim as a whole.

Took me awhile to see the problem too. Glad you noticed it right off. Hope things go smoothly for you.

Rim is back in the shop today. We'll see.....

^^

Got a call from shop last night. They said rim wouldn't be done because, "that there BBS rim takes a special paint! "

No sheet Sherlock.

Supposed to pick up at noon.

I really hate not having the ZHP on weekends. Ugh.

Well at least you know they figured out how to do it right this time instead of getting it back with sub-par quality again!

Rim not ready at noon. Will be ready at 1500.

"That there rim takes special paint!".

HTC Thunderbolt+TT

Yeah. Kinda skeered to go git it!

Well....just picked up the rim. He could not "Match that there special paint".......and "it actually looks like that there rim is powder coated".

No sheet.

He will be telling shop Monday. Will be getting quote for powder coat.

UGH...........
