Default Stage 1 Monte repaint project

So most members will remember in 2010 my car was broken into & had some body work done to fix the damage & well the body shop royaly screwed it up so im just now finally fixing it, this will be a 3 Step process starting with the drivers quarter panel & ending with my flames finally so with the drivers quarter the shop didnt clean or prep the car right & now the paint is bubbling bad & they refuse to stand behind it so with the help of a local shop tomorrow im gonna start to fix it

Heres the damage





Ive touched some of it up but still sucks to see it, this is moving my plans way up but its getting worse & i cant stand it & im gonna paint my rockers & mirriors aswell & get all that done

Good to see it getting fixed! I learned from my Monte that where there is a bubble, paint chips will be there not too long after (atleast on my bumper lol)

If you still have the paper work on their "warranty" you may wanna pull that stuff out and ask them about it. Granted, doesn't change that YOU are now having to take matters into your own hands.
