Very disappointing outcome. Hope that tweaker never shows his face around here again.

Still going with the same color. A very reputable shop. He usually does high end collector cars. So a fox body mustang is usually not the usual customer here, but he's making an exception.
Normally his charge is $10,000 but after showing him all the shit I've gone through he's promised me $5600 by the end of August. Which usually mean mid September, because I've dealt with the guy before and he is the best painter I know west of the Rockies.

Sounds like a great price for a high quality paint job. Seeing he also has to clean up someone else's mess.
What are you doing to do to the coupe once you get it back?

5600 for a complete paint job, are you undoing the prior job? Good price at a great shop.

Yes, the guy is going to reblock sand the car. Lots of areas where he painted over debris and adhesive from labels. The only good part he said was the jams were done. The $5600 price is a friendly price. He knows what I went through.

Man after seeing the effort u put into this car, it sucks that dude really pulled one over on u. Why are there so many shady people on this forum.
At least it's in the right hands now.

So you still had to pay $2600 for a half-ass incomplete paint job?!?! If anything, he should be paying you back for the wasted time and stress he caused you! That's ridiculous!

Well he stated frame off and it's looks like he put it aback together maybe that's what took a long time.

Why didn't you get your money back? You actually let him keep 2,600$ for painting three panels?

I still believe Jon does know how to paint, but his health issues kinda complicates correcting his mistakes along the way. And at what point does he finally throws in the towel or tap out? I know he needed the money but with his health deteriorating, he really shouldn't be taking on such projects until he truly is physically able to do it from start to finish without compromise.
But for now, it would be best for him to get his health in order. Truely that should be what's important for him and his family.

He's in financial hardship. Sure I could take him to civil court and win. It would probably lead into bigger problems for him. Is it going to make me feel better? Probably not.
Building a case isn't gonna happen by itself. And the fact that I got my car back and it's being painted by someone I truly trust, I'm already 10x happier and relieved than I was at this time last week. So do I want to go back and gather all that crap for $2600 and to ruine someone's life? Some might enjoy that, but that's not me.
I'm past this whole ordeal, and I'm not looking back. I got a car to put together. That's my focus.
