A PAINTER I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

[14CHEEKS]

Hi all.

I have thought long and hard about doing this.

I've been in contact with my painter for the last 3 days. He has not offered me any compensation for the work done.

He has had the chance to redeem himself.

It all started when I wanted my wheels painted and polished.
He also offered to do my tank and panels.

He was recommended.

I will let the pics do the talking.......

His name is AL WEST and is based in DUDLEY/BIRMINGHAM goes under WEST POLISHING AND PAINTING

Sorry if I have offended anybody for doing this.

That's atrocious, even I could do better with a couple of tins of Halfords own brand.

What's the bulk of his business? Creosoting sheds?

Thats shocking.

I wonder if AL WEST in DUDLEY/BIRMINGHAM at WEST POLISHING AND PAINTING will join BCF and give it the "big'un"

What did he say when you confronted him?

[DrDonnyBrago]

You cannot be serious?


I could paint better with a paintbrush, that is terrible.

[Sako]

that is horrific! only made worse by the fact it was done by someone claiming to b a painter - i would be making him pay for a competent painter to re-do the job.

[Deano]

DRPW everytime boys and girls, you wont beat him, sorry to hear of your problems, marc will help you out if you contact him.

His work makes even me look good.

I would be gutted to get that back. Don't apologise for trying to save someone else going through what you've experienced.

Right, they finally finished painting the Forth Road Bridge, I wondered what happened to all the workers.

Looks shoddy alright, was he told to sand it down and paint or is that just expected? Because some of that looks like chips ect that are already there.

Mate that is terrible work. We would never be able to get away with anything like that. To be honest I don't even see how he's managed to do half of it!
Take it up further. He can't be out there doing work like that. People can do jobs themselves who have never painted better than that!

[pendulum]

That is poor work. Can't believe someone could do that and then have the confidence to actually try and CHARGE for it?

[CaNsA]

Another brilliant contribution from Pendulum,

Well done for stating the fvkin obvious there new guy.....

[DrDonnyBrago]

[CaNsA]

He didnt contribute anything IMO, just said the bloody obvious.

[Babba]

Just out of interest, what was the deciding factor that made you chose him as your painter?

[kerr]

This is why you don't pay a penny until work is completed and checked, any tradesman/professional who asks for ANY money upfront should be avoided.

Lets just clear a few things up.

The abusive messages went both ways after your 1st reply.....
and the final one i sent was
"you obviously don't understand what BCF is about so why dont you fuck off to GBBikers where you should fit right in without any problems. "

And that is the only post of yours i have commented on.

Get your facts straight new guy.
