I checked it out before pick up, I was happy with the respray (which was all I paid attention to), I signed the form and went home. *facepalm*

Only upon closer (or should a say broader and less focused on the paint) inspection when I got home, did I realise the panel wasn't fitted properly.

I hadn't paid, the Pajero man paid the $400

If I was the pannel shop I would tell you to get ####ed if you brought it back, you have already signed the piece of paper saying the job was done to a satisfactory level. unfortunately for you it wasnt let that be a lesson.

First pic is looking backwards from fender to FLH door, with side skirt below. It looks like orange peel hey.

I realise I've already signed it satisfactory, hence I'm hesitant to give him a call and this is why I asked if it would be hard to adjust my self.

looks like its worth every penny of the 400 bucks. thats the same guard. just bogged and flogged. you got 0.0000% chance of lining that up any better without more paint.

Can you not just loosen the bolts on the fender. Get a mate to push on the panel to closer/open the gap until its even, then you tighten the bolts. Trial and error until you have it set right?

Yeah I'm thinking that too mate, I mean it's only metal hey, I'll just have to be careful with it and not furk the paint job. I'll update when I triumph, or fail. Lol

Is the side skirt painted, textured plastic or is that genuinely peel? If it's peel, you could probably do better with a couple of rattle cans. If the plastic is textured, it would make sense though.

 

[GIJoel]

Pretty sure it's textured plastic, but the camera does put emphasis on it

Same thing happened to me when i got my EL XR6 back from the panel beaters. (was reversed into by a Navara and caused $3800 worth damage)

Panels misaligned, paint runs, imperfections in paint, badges on wrong.

Luckily for me my insurer agreed with all of my concerns and got them to recify it. All up took 6.5 weeks with a free hire car due to the stuffing around.

I would take it back and show them. Just say that you didnt notice it until you got under a more stable light.
