painter (UPDATE)
Ok i have sent many emails and left a few messages last one i left was today with the secretary to have him call me. And still nothing!!!!!!!!!! \\;\\\\\\; I have the ***** of not comunication. The bike is done and I paid stupid me. But it needs a few things redone that are off a shade so the only way to fix this is reshoot it. They had the bike for a month and then rushed it in the end. So i feel he needs to fix it. Should I be an *******. And lay into him or be mister nice guy or simply file a case with the local distric justice as a first step to forcw him to pay someone else to fix it
 \\;
 \\; I just got a call from the shop owner and all is set for this fall or whne ever i want to drop it off for a bit. SO FALL it is. The whole bike will be reshot. I ask why he hasn't called me back before he said he was aware of how pissed I was. But after leaving the message today he called me from home.

I'd say have a friend call from another number about getting some work done and schedule a time to meet. Show up yourself at that time to confront him. He probably thinks that if he ignores you, you'll just go away.

Lesson learned , never pay all the dough upfront. I never do and never ask for it. A reputable person doesnt need to get paid for what they havnt done yet. Go see him and threaten him. \\;Punch his *** out!

RE: painter
didnt pay up front. Ok here it is I dropped it off april 28th told him it had to be ready by rolling thunder. At 1am the morning of rolling thunder which was may 25th it was finnally reassembled. But they were REPAINTING some parts that had wrinkled on thrusday when they decided it was time to start painting. I wanted my bike back so i paid. Now I just want him to fix it by reshooting it all from one mix not tryin to just shoot a few pieces after they get messed up. They had plenty of thime and rushed it in the end. I will try one more time to talk to him before I lose my cool with the shop. This shop has been around for many years and even done work for the owner of the local H-D \\; dealerships personal bikes which he has entered in shows in daytona mertyl and a few other places.

Send the owner a confirming email of your telephone conversation and \\;his commitment to re-shoot the entire bike. \\; Avoids misunderstandings several months from now, etc.
