You're looking for lawyers? That's going to cost you a hell of a lot more than $600.
Everybody always handles this kind of thing the wrong way. If you took the car back and showed them where they missed, without being a douchebag to them, they will likely repair it for you. But yeah, what do you expect for $600. I got mine painted at Maaco for about the same money and was damn pleased.
This would have been an easy slam-dunk case in small claims court to get his money back. Too bad it will cost a lot more just to clean that garbage paint off of the car!
Why are you guys dumping on this guy...??? because he comes from another country...?? That's disgusting. He is FULLY within his rights to complain. He was NOT given what he was promised. He should SUE Earl Scheib for fraud and/or negligence (i.e. breach of contract). They should refund his money AND cover his costs to have their garbage removed from the car. Period.
You have to tell them what you want done.If you want a base coat of prime then specify it. schieb uses special paints applied in one coat. this is the economy paint job for people like you who are too cheap to pay more money for the higher quality services.Ok you paid 599.99 . stillthe economy service A high quality paint job will cost you about a thousand dollars.This is the starting point 1000.00 your idiot for taking a show car to them for a 99.99 job.

Your an idiot for taking a showroom car to a place that does 99.99 dollar paint jobs.
Don't know where you're at on this, but no need to get an attorney. All you have to do is send your pictures, a written statement of your problem, copies of receipts and warranties and forward it all to the California Attorney General's office and your own State's Attorney General's office. Believe me, you'll get your money back real quick. Or, tell the shop your plans on contacting the Attorney General's office and see what they say. They'll normally pucker and give in.
You cheaped out and went to Earl Scheib! What did you think you were getting for a paint job seriously? You can't argue that you didn't know Scheib's was a shit hole place to go because you obviously have the technical savvy to post videos here. Therefore you should have been able to do a little online research about Earl Scheib's and realized they suck for quality. Damn.
anooseholay, not a good answer! Anyone can get scammed. I'm a mechanical engineer and when I take my car in for service, you wouldn't believe the B.S. that comes out of mechanic's & their manager's mouths. get some manners
Sorry if I offended anyone but when I was in California I was only 21 years old and I knew Earl Scheib's was a damned rip off then. There are certain things that are facts of life and one of them is that you can't trust an autobody shop that promises to paint your vehicle for $99.99. All it takes is a sentence or two on your favorite search engine to find out if a place is reputable or not.
Customer Service Over The Phone Is a Corporate Joke , As long As You don't Have Extreme Anger Issues Much Better Dealing With Any Crappy Services One on One With Company Service Manager.
Have A friend with you to Make Sure You Don't go Overboard.
And do it while the Place is busy Be Stern, Calm & Loud. Most Places dont want the rest of the Customers to see or hear your problems. They Might Lose More Than Your Business Over the Phone your at a disadvantage ! Goodluck
zdravéi dan, so what ever happened? earl sheib is a good place to go for a piece of shit or for a quick and cheap paint job. however i prolly myself not go there for my car or any car i put pride in. and certainly not a kit car. lol. i remember those commercials when i was a kid "ill paint any car for 29.99"...riiight.." now we know why....did you ever call the b.b.b.?

shit, a good car wash/detail cost $200, what'd you expect from a $600 paint job? That pile of fiberglass got just the type of paint job it deserved.
