Painting is doomsday ... - Toyota Carina E, 1.8 liter, 1997

-August 18 (Wednesday) …
In the afternoon I start the paint to blacken the racks and see that someone new is working on the car. I found out that the owners of the service invited a painter with 20 years of experience, from whom many younger painters studied ... I see how it works, I calm down a little and I just go home because I just don’t have any strength ... At about 9 pm, a call from Vadim (the station manager) - Kick, Sasha ( painter) stopped painting because the paint does not cover, come maybe you have to make some kind of decision.
We are already coming with my wife, because it was impossible to stop her. The picture is really paint put in 3 layers and old jambs shine through from under it ...
In short, we agreed to invite an independent colorist-technologist the next morning, a colorist who picked up paint and her bosses, in short, to gather everyone who is related to my car, because it's time to dot all the places. We bring home, beer, more and more beer, somehow fell asleep ...
-August 19 (Thursday) ... In short, the technologist believes that either the paint was loosened or the kneading technology was not followed , or something else (I don’t remember anymore) - in short, it sins on the paint.
Morning ... I won’t describe everything in detail - I’ll read for a long time, and write even longer ... The director and painter arrive from the office where they took the paint, and offer to simply overtake the car to them, in order to show how and in what conditions it is necessary to work. The question from them is at whose expense the banquet? I, well, definitely not for mine! I just want to get to the bottom of the truth. Visitors drop off…


We decide to make the same mix in another coloring office, according to the same recipe and all that ... A tedious wait ... After 2 hours we go to look, take a piece of iron, immediately cover it in 3 layers with new paint - everything is fine, the only thing is the equipment in the paint brushes different, and the color turned out a little darker. And the most noticeable thing is that the density of the paint is actually higher than on ours ...
We are breaking the brain - what to do and how to prove it ... There is no expert examination of the paint in the city, it means to prove it documentarily - anril ... Vadim gives up, he doesn’t know what to do ...
I'm not going to give up, because I don't want to be left in the cold. I called Alexander (the director of the office where they took the paint) and offered to meet, having previously told about our experiments and conclusions with paint. We agreed on 5 pm ... I am walking around the station and the surrounding area, because it’s stupid to go home for an hour.

17-00 We arrive with both colors and start talking. There is no compromise - the paint is normal, and your masters are crooked, and instead of 3 liters of paint, they have already exhausted 6, and without result ... The painter's patience bursts, he takes a new wing in the ground, we make the same substrate, and soon he, using all technologies and the rules, in 3 layers (as promised) it completely covers the wing without any gaps and other non-paintings ... Naturally, all interested persons were present at the same time, I, as a justice of the peace and part-time patient.
The result is on the face - the part is painted, there are no complaints about the paint, I take my rude words about these dudes back and apologize - and I'm not dumb, because people have proven their skills. But Vadim was dumb, and how ... The proposal to overtake the car to them and do everything right remains in force ... The price of the issue is 30 re with the material ... I take note ...

We return to the station to the car and begin to think over options for resolving the issue, painting, returning money, in short, all the options ... Vadim suggests ordering paint in another office and repainting everything without problems, the only thing is that the color is different from the one I chose initially ...
The brain is already refusing work, so we leave until the morning ...

In principle, our solution to the problem was found after the first bottle of beer, and we are generally satisfied ... It remains to discuss it with Vadim and draw conclusions.

I'll have breakfast and move on to collect material for the next article. :)
See you soon friends! :)

AND HERE IS THE CONTINUE OF THE STORY...
Somewhere around 5 pm...
After another half a day was lost today, the performers themselves admitted that it is better to admit defeat now than to try to prove their toughness, and eventually screw up and get even more loot.
In short, we agreed to return the money spent on paint within a week, and I drove the car to the same service where I ordered the paint.

PS After a month of walking, sitting behind the wheel and driving a couple of kilometers to the new (and I hope the last place of repair), I felt this ... In short, I almost finished with pleasure on my rejuvenated beauty! :) It has not yet been repainted, varnished and not fully assembled, but ... :)
