All American Rod & Custom

I had a car paint (or messed up) by this shop and here are the facts. The vehicle has $76,000.00 in parts and 750 hours of my time to get to the paint stage. Just paint is all it needed the body was sprayed in surfacer, block sanded along with epoxy primer and sealed for paint. Anthony and Hector came to my house and looked the car over and said they would love to paint it. He called me up a few days later and gave me a quote of $1600.00 to spray the vehicle in the color and finish I wanted, which was a Dark Grey Matte finish. The car was completely disassembled; hood, trunk lid, doors and front fenders were separated from shell. The frame and interior of the vehicle were already finish painted and I expressed my concern that the not get over spray on it. I delivered it to him on 4/19/10 and the price when dropped of changed to $1800.00. Two weeks later ha called and said the car was done. So I went to his shop and the paint finish had so much dirt in it he said he would respray the car since I was not happy. He then recommended a Matte clear coat and said this would make the finish easier to spray and would hide some of the imperfections. At a cost of $1200.00 more dollars I was good with if it would look better and last longer. 2 months later after trying many times to get the finish right he talked me into a base/clear paint job at a additional $900.00 and said it would be a really nice job when done. I went to pick up the car on 7/19/10 it looked all polished and shiny with a few spots he said he would fix after I got the car together. The over spray on the frame and interior that I asked them to fix was still not done but I was. I just wanted to get my vehicle out of there. After I got the car home and resprayed the interior and parts of the frame from there over spray I started to assemble the car. As the car dried and the paint cured it started to get a horrible orange peel (dimples) along with a few other problems. I then in Sept disputed the paintwork through my Visa. After many months of waiting (now 1/24/10) I just got charged back the $ 4060.00 dollars that Anthony wanted for the crap job I got. He asked why I didn’t call him and take the car back to him and I stated I did not trust him to not get over spray on all the parts I currently had installed (almost a completed car but trim and glass). So if you want you car painted I would think twice before using this shop. I am not going to fix the paint I am gong to finish the car and take it to every car show I can so people can see the crap this guy turns out.
