Need evidence for court regarding respray
Discussion
I know this is a bit impractical doing this over the imternet but i need an experts opinion on something.I gave my Jaguar to a guy to finish off repairs i had done(nerve injury stopped me)and then to go on and respray the car.I have just read his 'Inventory of productions' which is what he has printed off in his defence as to what 'he' says he done to the car.Im a DIY painter and the first time i used a good epoxy high build primer i used one caot,and what amazed by how it filled small imperfections and scratches.
So,the story is i gave this painter a tin of quality high build primer and he didn't use it,it was still in his brothers garage where i gave him it.So in this inventory he printed he says he applied 'three' coats of high build primer to the car,the photos of the car i received are below.I just need an experts opinion as much as it's possible by a few photos,as to how much,or if indeed if there was 'any' high build primer used on my car,i personally think there is now way three coats are on this.

There is one small section that looks like shrinkage,the rest when you're standing beside the car is just pure scratch marks.He was asked to finish off a couple of repairs then apply primer then paint.As has been touched on here i'm finding it hard to get a local painter to talk against another painter,even though this guy is 'not' time served i've subsequently found out,and he's taking work away from genuine,qualified,folk.

You said on one of your other threads that you had reports on the paint work from 2 different places, it was the thread where you wanted to sell the car.
YES BUT NOT IN WRITING,ADVISED NOT TO SELL CAR UNTIL CASE IS OVER
Personally I think you are wasting your time, you paid a grand for a paint job including materials, and would not let the painter rectify any of the work.
I WAS 'QUOTED' £1000 FOR THE PAINT JOB,THERE WERE TOO MANY FAULTS FOR HIM TO RECTIFY.
May I ask ? what are "genuine, qualified, folk." I have no qualifications, however I have been painting cars for over 30 years, I still cock the odd one up now and then, always do my best to rectify the problems.
GENUINE,QUALIFIED FOLK,THAT'LL BE TIME SERVED PAINTERS THEN,WHAT DID YOU THINK I MEANT,PLASTERERS?
Even if you win in the small claims court, do you think the painter will cough up ? it will be your word against his regarding what was agreed for the price paid.
DON'T THINK HE WILL COUGH UP,BUT WORTH A TRY THOUGH
3rd thread on this paintjob now, good luck with it.
3RD TOPIC,ONE ON EACH THREAD,YOUR GOOD LUCK MEANS AS MUCH AS IT WAS MEANT.IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE THREADS,DON'T READ THEM,SIMPLE AS.
