08 1.4 Accident repair paintwork problems - Ady2009
Hi all

I am hoping to get some advice from some experienced professional painters out there. I recently scrapped the side of my car on the gate post and used the insurance companies approved repairer to get it sorted. The car has come back and i'm not happy with the paintwork. Along the bottom of the door, the paintwork had a dry and uneven appearance (it was glossy but with an uneven surface which you could feel). The second point was that at the back, when you look closely at the surface inthe right light, you can see little black dots in the paint ( i pointed them out to the garage and they recon that they are the pigment of the paint - for a red car ?). They have polished the bottom of the door but its still not brilliant. Is this garage just fobbing meoff with the pigment thing ?, its certainly not anywhere on the rest of the car and only localised on the repair area.

Cheers

Ady
