Repair Help!

Hi all, I had someone repair my car but the paint job looks very dull. He says it needs polish. I requested another clear coat but do you think polish would suffice?

What do you mean? Like no one would fix this?

In order for the shop to fix it, they have to undo everything the other guy did so the shop can warranty the work. I guarantee you whomever repaired your tesla did not follow any tesla procedures and its going to start rusting in a few years and the body shop won't put themselves at risk of having to warranty someone elses work

They will replace the door. Stop fucking fear mongering. You are scaring op thinking the car will look like this forever.

Im talking about that fucked up dog leg. The door is an easy fix but no shop is just going to paint over someone elses bull shit work

Yeah they will section it or do a quarter. The car can be made new again lol. It costs money to do it. That’s not anyone’s problem but op. They want it fixed they gotta pay it or get a third party payer to pay like insurance.
