West of Scotland RSOC

after a botched respray last year i got my car booked into get it sorted properly.

this was the state of my paint after i got it back from a bodyshop who painted it last year.after numerous trips back to get bits sorted i eventually got my money back and took it elsewhere. the pics show the condition of it after RM bodywork made an ar5e of it,the second lot of pics show it now.

masking line,no shine to paint





foam edged along door,why not paint full door



dirt in paint,he's tried to buff it out



foam edged inside door check



oversrpray inside fuel cap lock



buffed through corner of bootlid



primer collapsed and buffed with 180 grit i think



cracked my sideskirt trying to remove it,was never removed in the end,wonder why:rlmao:



front bumper





bumper grills with paint build up and overspray on grill



dirt under glass,tried to buff out again



this is my list of stuff wrong



stone chips just been painted over





arch cover overspray



lovely big stone chip been sprayed over



masked off inside bootlid,not even straight,why not just paint the rest of panel



this was only some of the stuff,it had silicon and dirt everywhere,the tape holdoing the front number plate wasnt removed and just painted over

so plan b. took it to gibby and its had a full respray bar roof. bumper grills,fog surrounds and splitter will be going satin black. heres the pics of gibby in action

















































just needs flattened and polished,blacks painted and built back up,should be back on my drive midweek. cant wait:D

Glad to see its getting done properly mate.

Wish I knew about this about RM before I wasted 10 weeks waiting on a tailgate being painted, that never even got done.

Avoid RM bodyworks people.

Lucky you. Wish mine never got done. Wasted my time. Should have ran when he came out like this

Saw the updates on Gibbys facebook & its looking great. Cant wait to see the finished pics

Good to see it getting the job it deserves Jamie.

It's gonna look mint when it's finished going by the pics.

if you think your car was painted bad you should see my fiesta got what I paid for 600 quid down the drain could have done a better job myself and I have only ever emulsioned my ceiling in the house, think I will be getting gibby to do mine when I can afford it. will look mint when done Jamie glad your getting the finish your car deserves.

Been following the progress of this on Gibby's fb page, glad to see it's all getting put right won't be long til my dad's escort is going to Gibby - can't wait to see the results

I saw the car in flesh when I was over seeing Gibby, looked great mate. Some nice additions in the bay too, what powers it running?

No it's was friend of a friend in Cleland he spent more time masking things than it would have to remove and fit them back on. Problem I have is a good respray will probably cost more than car is worth.
