I saw a nice white Rex on the internet with white Si wheels so I decided to do the same.
Went the other day to Auto Paint Works to get a pint of paint to paint my wheels white on my white car (Say that 5 times fast :lol: )
Anyways they looked good when I was painting them. When i put them on the car that was another story. It doesnt match at all. They are almost a tan color. I would have checked the color after one wheel was done, but I was doing them all at the same time.
Went back for a refund or at least the right color of paint. They told me that the paint on my car had faded and thats what it looked like factory.
I took a centercap off to prove that the color was different than what was in the book. Sure enough it wasnt the same.........at all.
Then he said I used the wrong primer even though he is the one who recomended the primer I bought compared to the primer I was gonna buy. Then he said I didnt spray enough of the white base on and he went on and on.
So I basically told him that the only reason why my wheels are off colored is because you messed up on my frost white paint.
He was a real prick about it, said he would gladly mix another batch for regular price.
"Im sure you would!" I said
So basically to make a short story long, I got all my money back for the primer, base and clear.
After he gave the money back he said he wanted the remainder of the paint just to be a dick, but since he already gave me the money I ignored him and left
So Basically in a Nut Shell, Auto Paint Works in Marietta Sucks with matching paint
