WHY ME!?

Not the whole car, just the skirts (SPG)- they painted them silver and claim that was the color code! I know this color is not even close to "normal." The rest of car appeared OK, but is was in shop lighting and tough to tell. And... I was so pissed I split fast before I lost it.

The guy I'm dealing with was out (sick kid) and the other shop manager says it up to he and I to work out. Besides telling him, "repaint it!" what can I do? I would not be caught dead driving it. To make this bad situation worse- they painted the wheel well molding. Of course not matched to the car color, but to the skirts- wich are now SILVER. It looks too dumb!

And another thing- I walked in while the key wells were still taped. I told him I wanted them removed, and he even wrote it up for 3 key wells X .3 hrs per- bastard.

I'm not a "run to a lawyer" kind of guy, but it seems something like this may require some muscle? Any thoughts on options here?

TIA,

I'm gonna hold off on the name- don't want to slander, he may work it all out in the end.
