Scott Jahren Custom Paint

Very good

Folks, this shop is not very good at all. I had taken some body panels to Scott along with a set of wheels from a Ferrari to strip and refinish.

First, he shop is a total mess and the place has dust everywhere. Even his paint booth has dust all over the place. His only saving grace is rubbing compound and a buffer given he gets lots of blems in his spray outs. One body panel had a hairline crack and even when the work was finished, the crack outline can still be seen. When flaws are brought to his attention, he tries to guilt the customer into accepting the poor work.

When he stripped my wheels, he did so with such coarse sand paper that he cut into the base mag. and altered the original lines of the wheels. To attempt to resolve this, he poured on many coats of primer which then resulted in center caps not fitting. In fact, the wheels would not even fit on the car (center hub) because he applied too much material.

The wheels are silver metallic and when he sprayed them they looked terrible (craters of the moon). The clear coat also has dirt, dust and other crap in it.

I had to take the wheels to another shop to re-work them as Scott tried to extort more money to fix his poor work. Taking the wheels to another shop was the best move I made as they made them perfect and it was no hassle like it was dealing with Scott
