Default house paint

Finally after 3 1/2 weeks the ins. company agreed to pay to paint half the car. I am going to pay to have the other half painted so it gets a complete all over job done . They want a company called color match to redye the inside parts of the car and I am not happy with it. Will have to talk to the Ins company again to make sure that if its not to my liking then they will fix it .Will give another update as soon as possible.

I remember your original post about what happened and it was a real low life coward thing to do to you. I don't care if you did pi$$ someone off or not, if someone has a beef with you they should be man enough to let you know to your face. I hope your car comes out as good as new and don't be afraid to stand up to the insurance company if your not satisfied, thats what you pay them for. Good luck with the repairs and let us know how everything works out.

There is a difference between "law" and "justice". Someone really needs a beating over this...

Nice job negotiating on the exterior repairs and good luck with the interior.

OK , I have my car back and the paint looks great but the inside is still not right. I called the manager of the adjusters here in Pensacola and he has agreed to meet with me and look at the inside and see if we can get this mess worked out. I told him how unhappy that I am for my car sitting at the body shop for over six weeks . Once they got the ok to paint it , they had the paint job done in a week. That means the car has been there for about five weeks to damn long . Well will post some picks up soon I hope , that is if I can figure out to . Thanks fellow CF members for your support on my great last six weeks.
