I just fired my painter., and I feel a little sick over it... Options

I had to do it. He's two weeks late with the rockers and rear valence and hasn't touched them yet after having them for almost six weeks.

Last week, he stopped returning my calls. I finally called his other job today and left an 'urgent' message with the secretary who then opened the paint booth to give it to him. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

He returned my call all pissed off and I just said 'good, I see your phone does work'. I fired him and got my parts back.

I think I should send him a bill for the final polish on the car, which he owes me.

Looks like I'll be loading the paint gun next week....

i had a bud who sent his 53 chev pickup to a guy to totally redo it, frame off rebuild. The guy did tons of work the first couple months, getting it torn up, bed welded up and fenders done w/ frenched taillights. Then didnt touch it the next two years. WHen he picked it up, the guy had pitched his frame cuz he was going to do a tube frame. THen he got a frame, had it redone, sent it to a kid from a vocational school in auto body to do the rest...then i had to redo everything he did and paint it -again- and now its in magazines...it isnt hard to get burnt out on working on cars for people though. Especially when you work all day then do it in your spare time.
