Default I'll show you mine

I paid 450 cash, seemed OK. Looks fine but experts may differ.

Thanks guys for the comments.
I was thinkin more about ya door issue Zander, when was the last time your JK had a proper cut and polish? They may throw in a free cut and polish to bring the old paint back up to its original colour? It may help out a lot if it hasn't been done in awhile...

Laverack, we are going to need a better photo to judge properly. But if you think it's OK that's all that matters.

The problem is that my colour doesn't look right to me and I'm definitely not a professional.

Task, I'll ask them about that but when I went there they specifically said to leave the car with them so they can colour match it to allow for fading!

Maybe it's just my bad luck but I'm finding a lot of companies are overcharging and under delivering on products and services these days.

They seem to want the money for nothing, i.e they don't put in a lot of care, effort, knowledge or skill.

(I was just reading Sladey's thread about Poly4x4 http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...d.php?t=122742)

I certainly won't be going back to this panel beater after this issue is sorted.

Judge for yourself, maybe I'm being too @n@l, but in full sunlight I can see the difference (the doors are slightly too dark).

Sorry mate but do you wear glasses, that's not "slightly too dark" that's "you'll repair my vehicle or you'll pay someone else to!"
