Paint people help.

Took my car to be painted, whole thing. Got it today and it looks horrible.

Over spray is everywhere, I dont think they taped anything off, its even ALL in the headlights. I dont even know how dumb you have to be to let it happen.

Has about 4 runs in it, and 2 spots they 'missed' completly.

Overspray covered the under side of the car.

I take it back to have the runs out monday, and I have a list of SIXTEEN other things wrong with it. Yes SIXTEEN.

Advice?

tell them to go back and do it right, or you are getting a lawyer and the BBB involved
