can my paintwork be saved??????
is there any way i can fix this without respraying...
it got sprayed a year ago by a professional respray place. farking **** job
the second pic is where they supposedly welded a new plate in to repair some bad rust. looks like bad bodyfiller to me.. and the door was perfect before i sent it in to get sprayed
i know its not a honda but i need to get this fixed ASAP so i can sell it and then get a honda

well the thing is it cracked like that less than a month after i had it done, so i took it back and they redid it for me.. and it cracked again after 3 months. on the invoice it said there was no warranty, so iwas pretty stoked that they redid it for free. but now i wanna sell it so i can get a B18B 4dr eg, but with the paint as it is now i wont get nearly what my car is worth..
im gonna get my dad to write them a letter, he's an lawyer
but in the event of them not doing it is there anyway i can get thjose cracks looking better??

normal spray paint, rattle can????
thanks mate what grit should i sand with, those cracks are like a mm deep, maybe 1.5 mm in places..
*edit.. thats on the door (first pic)
on the second pic, its just light surface cracking, i think a good sand-down and light paint &wet sand will sort that out

i agree.
i'v seen ppl put branding on the side of their car before, some one had a problem with his land rover,**** from the dealer etc so he got branding on the side to say "the worst 4 X 4 X FAR" then there was a court case.
anyway, im def goin back to that place to try get some cash back. or a good respray-i'l keep taking it back till im satisfied.
