[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1712347, member: 3099"] Damn dude. It pisses me off to see this! I was hoping to see a damn fine looking Fastback 'Stang posted up in here. Warning: Below isn't good news and may not be easy to read. I hope I'm wrong.... Say whut? :scratch: Is the rest of the car clear coated? Did they lay the base coat on the front? Did they remove the front clip to paint? This makes no sense unless maybe they removed the front to paint separately. The guy you talked to about finishing the paint for you is telling you straight. For the reason refer back to post #32 and #33. If they are using a modern basecoat/clearcoat paint system, sometimes referred to as a 2K system, the graphics and lettering are really your last concern. Because if they have had basecoat on the car with no clearcoat or intercoat clear on top for 60 days like it sounds, then that paint is going to have to be redone anyway. Sorry if that's what has happened. It's a damn shame. Find out precisely what paint products they are using. Part numbers for base coat, hardeners (catalyst), reducers and retarders, part numbers for the clear, catalysts, reducers. For everything they sprayed on the car. Then you can look up the tech sheets and see the time parameters required and rework requirements. Ditto for primers and sealers that they used. I suspect that this may come in handy when you go to court, which I also suspect is quite likely if you want to have any chance at resolving this. [/QUOTE]
