What do you ppl think of my list...

I'd like to know if you think this is thorough enough.

I want this car done right, no 'if's' 'and's' or 'but's"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remove:

Small ding on driver door
Small ding on driver fender
Two small dings on hood
Small ding on pass side rear quarter panel – behind door
Also remove any over spray found anywhere on the car
The double orange stripes used for the driver’s side door and part of the fender. Replace with single, wide orange stripe

Paint:

All paint must match
Driver door and fender – wonderful job painting however it came out two shades lighter than the rest of the work that you’ve already done to the car. Would like to see what can be done about this.
Pass. Door – It was appreciated that this was done at no extra charge, however I am not seeing the quality here, that I’m seeing in other places. Possible repaint for the door. (Extra charge or not, I’d like this done properly)
Mirrors: paint gunmetal gray to match bottom of car
Door handles: paint gunmetal gray to match bottom of car

Stripes:

Please use solid orange line, for I do not like the two small orange lines put together
(Order if necessary)
Make sure that all stripes are cut to an even length and properly adhered to the car -
Would prefer that no stripes are peeling from the vehicle
Straighten any stripes that may be noticeably crooked

Back Bumper:

Please see if it’s possible to put a small Chevy BowTie emblem next to the word ‘Chevrolet’ in silver. Obviously it won’t be very big, I just like that emblem.

Important:

Please take all the time you need on my car. There is no time limit. Go through this list one by one, and make sure everything is good. Please inspect thoroughly.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Too much?? I'm trying to praising them while telling them something was done incorrectly.

Where are you taking it to? No, thats not to much. They keep it till its done right. And before you take it anywhere.... Where are you taking it to. Make sure the bodyman is not all liquored up. Everyone there should speaka englisha. This way they can hear what the mananger is saying. I have seen alot that is in the autobody bussiness. People painting over duct tape. Smoking Js in the back. Putting beer in the coke machine. Hung over fired body men call in and I would anser the phone. He was talking something like Vietnam baybe!! Vietnaaaaaammmm !!!!!!!! He told us he could see us through a sniper riffle. Me and a freind were cracking up. Heh.. those were the times.

It's a place called Quality Colors. It's a local shop - not a chain.

I'm expecting this to turn out like I want it and if it doesn't I think I'll have to go back up there and really lose my temper.
