- Poor quality. Unreasonable & unauthorized work. Disingenuous ownership. - - Anonymous user - 11/16/2014 - comment
Contemporary Automotive charged me $9300 to paint bumpers, trim, and engine cover components of my car, and used Rustoleum(!!!) paint for approximately 75% of it (as indicated on the bill by the UPC code). In writing, Rustoleum's product manager specifically states that Rustoleum Stops Rust Satin Black "...it is not considered to be an automotive paint coating..." When I confronted "Smitty" about the paint that was used, he immediately said it was a mistake, and that POR-15 semi-gloss black was used. This substitution provides no remedy, as POR-15 is not UV stable even when covered by a clearcoat. This is supported directly by the technical information on POR-15's website. All of the inferior paint and amateur workmanship will need to be stripped off, bodywork repaired as needed, and parts removed and replaced. Additionally, there are numerous defects (dirt/dust) in the paint, the front bumper was not fitted correctly, and all of the paint has a very rough "orange peel" texture. Unauthorized bodywork was also performed far in excess of what would be considered reasonable. Contemporary Automotive also put two dents into my car. This was the worst experience I have ever had with my antique car, or a merchant in general.
