Well due to finances, it seems I ordered some pain off the internet, and wish I didn't.....I used DuPont Nason light gray primer...which went on ok, stayed over a month for several coats as I sanded/worked the finish down to something for base/color coat, I wanted a one step urethane, shoot, sand the runs, reshoot and forget about it.....hell with orange peal whatever, since 2/3 of the cars on the road have it....

anyway, the base/color urethane I got from this Rob Chamberlin fellow is a real bucket of ****....it reacted like CRAZY with the fully cured sun baked primer, that car WAS pretty damn slick, but his paint got into and under the primer, shrunk hell out of it, and any underlying body work, and totally destroyed it.....

so, not only do I NOT trust it was a true urethane, but now I dunno what in hell it WAS...so to take a belt sander and knock it all down to nothing on the back deck and headlights.....then to try various chemicals to remove the paint or sand it all down again and reshoot....

NOW on top of all THAT crap, the following emails explain that it took 3 WEEKS to get the paint....the missing can of reducer makes the second 1/2 of the gallon useless, a subject not covered in the emails...

I will post some other emails in a followup about this dating back to 5/1/09.....

he never did send the money....

Rob, I thought we had a agreement, but I guess not, I noted the explanation in ebay/PP, and I note it's still a negative on your site feedback, nothing I can do about that.....

but I got no check....

so what gives???

I give it a week, and then I go on all the vette forums, save one, and tell my story, it can go positive or negative....but it's going to be ONE WEEK....period....

CASE CLOSED....

Mr. Slater, Sometimes in the world of business thing go wrong. This has happened in your case. We are not sure where the breakdown ocurred but your order either never reached shipping or was lost after shipping. Either way, we have failed.

Here is our offer for your trouble and to make up for
our error: We will immediatly refund your $118.99. In addition we will send your Emerald Green paint at no charge to you and send you $100.00 cash for your trouble and effort.
Here is all we ask of you. You must retract your negative feedback. This can be done through ebay but must be done very soon for ebay to withdraw it. If you need help to do this please contact me. Thank you

NOW, here is the trick, early last week I talked with him on the phone, he blames the DuPont primer as being the troubles....I can't figger that, as it's a urethane....so when dry should not be affected by much of anything over it....

so he never sent the missing pint of thinner/reducer/whatever they call it....

so then he was supposed to get hold of 'his internet guy' and send a key to the ebay thing that would allow me to remove the negative comment.....

well no such thing happened.....so apparently he is out of touch with reality....

I have BTDT before with crooks right here in town, some ten years ago....

they suffered VERY public embarrassment over many cruise nights....me handing out leaflets to everyone in site, fixed their wagon but good.....

So now to put this on some other sites, and to send him a email with the links....**** on HIM, I win.......
