Actually, like Matt said...
I washed and waxed it last weekend, and found a ton more issues.
Every panel is orange-peeled, and there are drips everywhere. The work they did last time was basically turd-polishing, which became aparent after I waxed the car.
I need to talk to you about my options. I've been told that I should be able to have the car professionally polished with a very high-grit compound which should remove the orange-peel, but then it might need to be re-clear coated afterwards. If that's not enough then it may need to be repainted. Also, I have not received the missing badges.
If I hadn't paid $1100 out of pocket on this, I wouldn't be so critical of the paint quality, but (including the insurance money) this is a $4000 paint job, and it doesn't look that way. For $4000 at Shaber, I'd have a show-car quality paint job. I certainly don't want to take the car back to Gilson's... even though I think Gil's a nice guy, I don't believe his shop is willing to fix the car to factory quality.
I should be picking up the WRX from Shaber this afternoon. I think I'll bring the SVX over there when I pick it up and see what he thinks about the quality of the job, and what can be done to fix it. Perhaps Allstate, Shaber and I can come up with a solution?
