He explains they use computer where they enter color code, computer prepares paint and they can't control it -- this is the way this industry works now  Tried to explain I was expecting him to try paint pieces of paper and compare to the existing color first, but he doesn't hear me.
Oh well, my first experience with Prestige Quality Repair Center in Tilehurst, Reading...
Really need an establishment to build long term relationship with. Should be relatively small organisation, otherwise it's impossible to explain anyone anything...
Each attempt costs me 100 pounds :-) Fortunately, moldings are easy to remove.
I guess this should be moved to recommended supplier section. |
Hang on a moment are you wanting to recommend a supplier that has painted parts the wrong colour because "The computer says"?
Don't pay him untill they get it right and if he doesn't like it tell him the computer pays out the cash and theres nothing you can do about it.
