I am currently in Korea (US Army) but I live in Georgia and the problem is in New Mexico... Ok here goes. (By the way, I am not sure where to make this post.)
Ok when I was in Augusta GA around a year ago at Ft. Gordon my 2002 Ext. Cab S-10 truck was keyed all over the place to the metal. Well I filed a report and they (Police) said they would have to open a case and that the base could not pay for it because they couldn't prove that it happened on the installation. So I try my insurance company and they wouldn't cover it because I was basically living in Augusta but had insurance elsewhere so I didn't pursue it any further than that. Well my truck needed to be painted and I asked my uncle to paint it for me in New Mexico so I had my father haul my truck over to NM and get my uncle to do a "custom" paintjob on it, which was a complete color change and adding flames to it. He told me that he was going to make it look as if it were born blue and completely repaint the truck from scratch and install a roll pan (for an extra $100.00 so I sent him an extra $150.00) Which was a grand total of $2,400. Well I get my truck back and not only did it have an extra 10,000 miles on it but it had not been stripped completely down before it was painted nor properly primered. There are spots on my truck where you can still see the maroon underneath...gave the blue paint a purple look to it and also it was not buffed out the paint was still rough to the touch in many places and when I washed the truck paint began to flake off...Is there anything that I can do to get my money back? Or get him to redo my truck free of charge?
