karl does good paint work, thats why i took my car there and hes one of the nicest guys ive ever met but this car is my lifes savings and ive had to worry about its safety everyday its been there. he origanally told me it wold take 2 weeks and its been 7 months now, in the process my interior has been ruined, my motor bay will never be as clean again, they killed my battery, ive caught them reving my motor to its limits, they painted it the wrong color (not entirely their fault, but still icing on the cake.) ive seen numerous cars go in and come out in days while mine sits there in pieces. and the whole reason my car is there is because last time they painted it, it started chipping all over within 2 weeks. im just trying to get them to repaint it with a qaulity job that wont chip. am i asking to much? sorry to ramble, im just venting, i think ive been extremly patient. but i cant wait much longer. ive seen karls paint work and its really good, but what did i do to deserve this. i origanally paid him 2600 for the 1st paint job, and 300 since then so 2900 all together. is my money good?

i havent found a shop yet, but i feel your pain. my teg is my only car too. ive been bummin rides for almost 7 months now. that same bald guy gives me attitude about his car getting done first almost on a daily basis. at least he gets to drive his everyday. and it gets worked on everyday. ive offered to help karl on my car, ive even offered him more money, nothing works. i guess good work comes at the price of dealing with those who do it.

if you guys need a shop bring down to Dream works customs. Pretty much the paint shop is slowly getting a bad rep cuz they owner and the people are getting tired of it. if you need help bring it down to Dream works customs. Its only one guy so you gonna have to be patient for awhile but does great work!

my problem is that ive been too patient for 7 months now. the paint shop does good work, thats not the problem, its that they tell you that your car will be done next week over and over and over again while for some reason other cars are going in and coming out done in days.
