Default Recently ordered painter Carbon Flash louver

Gents, I recently received this today from a company I ordered it from, like the title states I had it painted Carbon Flash but I would like to get some opinions, would you accept this? I know things happen that is why I won't mention the company name to give them a chance to reply and make it right. I am a level headed person and don't make knee jerk reactions but would you 1. Request they paint you a new one or 2. Ask for a refund 3. Take my business somewhere else?

That's a **** poor paint job. I'd ask for a refund and take my money elsewhere

Lol, you could have done better yourself with a can of spray paint.

Actually, I can. I have been painting my own car parts for years, just did not feel like bothering with this.

Just send it back and don't waste your time on waiting for another one. Last month I ordered a DAR spoiler in carbon flash and it had many paint issues. They wanted to send me another one and I said I would give them the chance to make it right if they would guarantee a better paint job and inspect it in good lighting before sending it out. I said it need to painted like it was going on a $70k car. Well it wasn't. It had two deep gouges from a sander that they didn't fill and painted right over them as well as other imperfections. If they send that crap out like that they obviously have low standards and they aren't gonna all of sudden change what they do.

It looks green. What's the front look like? I'd probably send it back.

On another note- did you finish your garage floor yourself? If so, what brand did you use?
