There’s always a chance to make it better, the first time I got the tC's front bumper painted looked terrible, the second time looked better than the rear one with the original paint.

I am hoping that. Now that its bright daylight my bumper looks a pale baby blue. Not dark like the rest of the paint and its more sparkly. Like it has doule the glitter in the paint than the rest of the car so it reflects the light differently. I dont know how they could screw it up so horribly and then deliver the car to the customer and expect them not to notice. I called them up and gona bring it down after work. I want them to repaint everything and ask them strait up if they dont think they can do it right the second time let me know so i can find someone who can do it right the first time.

Not sure if im screwed at this point the insurance recomended one shop but i took it to another shop cause they did some work for me before so i thought i could trust them. Turns out i got screwed and i dont think insurance will help me now. If i end up having to go to someone else to redo it i might have to pay for the work to do it again which will probally cost me close to a thousand.

The radiator support they were supose to align i can tell is off the hood is crooked with the bumper. The hood latch is leaving scraches 1/2 a inch further down than it did before so i know its still off. They need to pull it forward but they didnt. They just painted the new bumper and threw it on leaving the underlying damage still there.

I could have just got a used bumper that was the same color and put it on myself and saved myself a buttload of money if i wanted a half ass job. And probally would have came out better in the end still.

That sucks that they couldnt get it to match better.I had to get my rear right quarter panel replaced after someone hit me in a circle, and the shop was able to match the paint pretty good, I couldnt tell a difference.
