Oh Copand **..That's shockin.!! no wonder the guy was asking you to hand it back in.. But it shouldn't have got to you in the first place, they should have some kind of quality control.

But then again it's a HONDA approved garage..?

Oh dear there's a pattern forming...!!!

The paint looks all orange peely lumps n dumps and dirt in with the paint.

I remember a few years ago a local Honda dealer supplied my ex a new Honda Jazz and she wanted the wing mirrors painted.. They said "Aye no problem we have a chap who does our small repairs at the garage." So we aggreed to get them painted to match the rest of the car. We went to pick it up and after driving it away to a local supermarket I got out and for some reason wiped my hand across the bonnet and the pillers around the windscreen and it was all covered with off spray,I went MENTAL..!!!!

We took it back the next day and went balistic with the dealer principle who eventually got us a new replacement Jazz. When we were in with him I went out for some fresh air and caught the salesman changing the bonnet with a demonstrator Jazz the same colour.. Unbelievable!!

The paint repair guy had painted it around the back of the garage with a few sheets of newspaper over the windscreen and sprayed it out in the open...F**K.!! I wonder how many other cars were covered with off spray..??

We had to wait 4 weeks for it though but and managed to clock up a few thousand miles on the duffer one. Shame thou as it was a great we car before they gave it an extra coat..! She also got flowers.. 3 years free servicing a tank of fuel 12 months road tax, mats and a spoiler from the dealer colour coded from Honda direct..! And a thousand appologies..!

It went without saying we kept the next one as it came from the factory with the black mirrors.

Anyway hope all goes well and you get it sorted right this time.

Rgds Al.
