One time may years ago I dropped some wheels off to be resprayed by a local body shop. I'd taken several hours to strip the old paint off and get the bare metal prepped. They said they would spray them and then harden them in their oven, and I could pick them up in two days. I called after a couple of days to see if they were done. They said no, but they'd be doing them soon. Apparently they thought I was being pushy (I wasn't, the car was on stands and the engine was out) and decided to "expedite" the service. They called me the next day and I went up there. They had given them to some guy who was so lacking mentally that you couldn't carry on a conversation with him, and he took them home. He brought them back the next day and 1) they were grey--supposed to be stock silver, 2) the paint/clear ran in big glops, and 3) they had a lot of dead moths and other bugs stuck in the paint. Totally ridiculous. I wasn't too terribly upset, because I knew I could strip them and start over, it would just be more work. What I couldn't believe was that they wanted to charge me for this. I just put them in the back of my truck and left. Ended up doing it myself in the garage using those little Prevail cans (or whatever they're called). They turned out pretty good in the long run.
