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....

UPDATE:

After pricing about $150 of materials to do the job, I had a look around at some local paint shops.

The first shop wanted $700 (for a pair of rockers and a rear valence!), so I went to another and they said they'd have 'em done in a week for $225. Sold.

I did make the quality I expected very clear. I'll post the results in a week.

That's the good news.

The bad news: my powder coater, who has had my wheels for over a month, called today to tell me they may not be able to strip the wheels. They're going to try one more thing and call me tomorrow.

Unbelievable.
