Never go to Orange County Glass and Collision
The owner lied to me about too many things. First I went in to have a bumper and lip installed and painted, my halo painted, and the rear valence painted black. He said it would take 5 days, then 2 more days, then 2 more days. 3 weeks pass and he says to come back and it will take 2 hours to buff. 7 hours later it was done. It looked great until the morning. No masking was done at all. My BOV, CV, Sway bar, Intercooler and piping, intercooler, scoop, and vacuum lines are all spattered red, my original bumper is scratched to hell, and my interior has scratches and plastics are cracked. I am so pissed you have no idea.

Omg 
dude I would not rest till I had that idiot that prepped your car for paint swinging by a rope, I've been a industrial coating inspector for over 25 years and of course I'm more at home with stuff like aircraft carriers and offshore drilling rigs and such, but we always inspect the prep prior to the paint being applied, it will make of break a coating project.
There is NO excuse for something like this, it could have been masked in no time.
Good luck trying to correct cause it will not be easy to remove and return to the shape it was in prior to that idiot pulling the trigger on the gun.

this goes to show why some shops can get 80 an hour while shops like this over charge even at 25 an hour.

My brother has a body shop, he does excellent work, I showed him the pictures, now I'm taking him to the Emergency room. I think he's having a Heart Attack.
He says a lot of shops do this kind of work. Hard to believe anyone can stay in business with this Poor quality work.

Wow that looks horrible and needs to be redone. Did you pay with a credit card? Dispute all charges immediately and at the sane time get an independent inspection and estimates. Two or three. You will need them for judge judy. This is absurd what they done to your car. Keep us posted.

Dammmmm
...that's the worse case of crappy work I have seen in a long time ...I would be waiting at the courthouse to sue that bastard ASAP...and bring lots of pics...maybe ask the Judge to look at your car close up...and yes he may just do that before he hangs that creep who messed up your Vette...and yes that is how I really feel
I'm pissed just looking at it..
Keep us posted...how about posting the bastards name and business so others don't get their Vettes messed up...ok....I've calmed down now...NOT!

My favorite line is "you obviously don't understand business". Business? I am an Assistant Vice President at a company with over 250,000 employees. You own a paint shop. I get it.

Wow, that's just horrifying.
I am sometimes tempted to complain why my stud restorer buddy takes a looooooooong time to fix stuff for me, but the beautiful result is always better than these guys in production shops that have zero interest in doing something nice.
