So I got my headlights back today and this is what I received :(
 

Hey guys,
I sent out my headlights to get the housings painted "black chrome" and this is what I got back today... I wont name the guy that did these, but I want people to honestly comment if the lights are acceptable? The guy is saying I'm too picky.:shakes head:

Who says these look fine and would accept them as ok?

^unacceptable! I would be furious. I hope it wasn't one of the Cali boys that did this since I plan on getting my lights done by either one of those guys.

Looks like matte black

looks like a guide coat with runs sanded flat

Yeah, it was a guy in CA but I'm not going to say who... I dont like to bash companies on forums but if their work is poor I want to get other peoples opinion and I can send him this link.

No, not matte black at all. He simply painted a translucent paint over top of the chrome without any sanding. That's why the "shinyness" still comes through from the original chrome. Just a poor paint application.

You can pm me. I hope you can get this fixed.

I'm sorry, it looks like sh!t and I'd be furious as fuk if those were my lights.

Whomever did this should be ashamed they returned your lights in this condition. I hope you didn't pay more than $100 for such craptastic work man. Demand a re-do or full refund asap bro.

AND PLEASE say who it is so the rest of us can avoid this guy (I'm in SOCAL).

Those look terrible. TERRIBLE.

Thanks man... I hope so too

Honestly I'm not a pro at painting, But that does look bad.

And to tell you you're being picky.

Did shop/person see the pics of how they came?

I would definitely have them redone.

Looks like they did it a dark room and never brought them out in the light to notice the paint was not even?

Hopefully it just a simple mistake, And gets resolved. :ugh2:

And just for reference, my previous lights were painted black chrome on the housing, it's a couple shades lighter than your "black chrome", but absolutely no over sprayed or paint runs when done by a PROFESSIONAL who stands behind his work.

Wow.... how can they tell you your being picky. That looks like **** and unacceptable

send them to 180customs and apologize to your car for trusting it with anyone else

All I can add is to Lets calm down, And put away the pitchforks for NOW

They have to be given a chance to redeem themselves.

Yeah. Well I just opted for a refund. I refused to sent them back to him. After being insulted on the phone, customer service was not his strongest point. I already contacted 180customs to get them re-done. Its just a huge hassle for me now because my car will be down for even more time now... plus I lost out on some shipping charges too. It's just so disappointing when people don't take pride in their work and expect customers to recieve it whether its right or wrong. I dont get it :shakes head:
