Benzkid gets ****ed by painter!!!

Hey guys well after 9 1/2 Weeks of my car in the shop for PAINT looked awesome the day he brought it back(it was a cloudy day)so that night i went to the local carwash to clean it up form the dust and wax left on the cars corners and lil areas where the white wax like to stay...and then BOOM i became the most P.O.ed guy ever seen..the car is blotchy in theses areas
1-Both Front fender next to the door area
2-Hood is terrible with dust painted into the paint plus the blotchy spots
3-paint is missing on the windshield panels in the inside(sanded down to baremetal
4-paint missing on ALL 4 fender wheel wells in inner part
5-right pass door has pelling spots allready
6-Roof is like the Hood minus the dust in paint
7-after wax was removed you can clearly see "dull rubbed" spots on driver door next to handle,left fender,middle of the roof front,left pass door next to molding
8-all 4 doors has paint missing between the switch form light green to dark green
9-paint on rubber molding(however its comming off now)

****y huh?? well we called and called till we finaly drove out to see him well guess what..it was cloudy and you can ONLY see these spots from behind at a angle with sunlight of floresent lighting..so we told him we will get back with him..when we got back is when i noticed the other stuff (bare metal and dull rubbed spots)so finaly 2day we got ahold of him and he said he wasnt going to come look at it at our lot we told him you cant see it from his place do to the fact that its green and u have trees and grass around ur paint booth and you cant see if out there,well he told us he would repair it but it will cost me...so were getting a attorney invovled and im gonna sue his *** and i went to other paint shops and they back be 100% so im gonna pull my $3000 paint job money out of his ***..btw though car looks ALOT nicer then what it sounds like,its just after 9 weeks and 3 grand it should look damn near factory..i will keep you up 2 date on this matter!
