My Dream F-100 Paintjob

This is the half ass paint job I got from Chris Pugh in Martinsville, VA.

[@RickyRevorc]

My heart aches for you my man! That's my favorite vintage too! Call a lawyer

[@SteelebillyWes]

You might as well just rattled can painted it yourself for that kinda outcome

[@nursekelly2834]

Exactly!

[@frankchisholm4439]

Dude, I'm having chest pain and anxiety for you....

[@caratcranker5874]

Yep, never let the Simpsons brain doctor work on a Ford.

[@mikeez5455]

Just came across your video. Same thing happened to me. Plenty of thieves out there. I filed criminal charges because nobody could do work that bad unless it's intentional, and that's criminal.

[@richardtoombs6068]

How are you staying so calm?I'd go freaking off on that shop,this kinda happened to me back in 1998 and I still want to beat the hell out of the guy lol.my prayers are with you brother

[@SurviventheOnslaught]

maaco would have done better, lol........how many miles were on it when you got it back?

[@billramsey3342]

I live in Virginia also, and I have had people do the same thing to vehicles that I own. One guy in Amherst if my car for over a year, charge me a couple of thousand dollars for stuff that he didn't even do. Worked on the engine, I said he did head gaskets for it, I trusted the guy I never checked behind him until the engine start messing up again. I had car going over by another mechanic and that's when I discovered the other guy had not done anything that I paid him for. It's sad that people run businesses this way, what goes around comes around. They will get it back. I'm sorry for your loss. That is heartbreaking. I love the old Ford truck

[@jkbenedict]

I don't even know how you were calm enough to make this video! My '69 F100 is going to be painted -- BY ME. Please tell me they repaired/replaced - at LEAST - especially the grill.

[@kocaine_03]

You better sue the hell out of him.

[@josesaenz7757]

What year is that beautiful truck?

[@lawrencejackson4001]

Never pay up front of work. Until it's done.

[@rauljuarez9986]

Hey man what kind of wheels and tires are those ..?

[@adamthompson2540]

Yeah you need to take this dude to court

[@lavanacoleman316]

Most all over spray will come off with clay bar, and the aluminum will polish out.

[@timjilman3295]

Nah, a brain surgeon would've smacked that cigarette out of his wife's hand while she's holding his child.

[@belligerentprisoner1959]

OH MY GOD!!!😲 The way you speak about this makes me feel either you are lying a bit or you sir have the acceptance of Buddha. I belive there would be a dead shop owner over this had it been myself. Im just in awe of you sir. hope all has worked out.

[@_FaTMaRV_]

you ought to leave a review on the bbb website... he has 0 reviews at this time with plenty of bad reviews all over google. I hope you got/get the truck taken care of.

[@gitlittoo2161]

3 gran for that. An 6 months. I would have filmed him at the shop as i showed hs ass the truck live in FB or something. But thats what u get nowa days zero pride

[@willemvanas8263]

My friend I know exactly what you mean by waiting all of 7 years for getting the right painter and body repair shop. ...I would be crying. ..sorry for your loss

[@dollabill6850]

I looked up rustoleum paint job and this popped up. A lawsuit wouldn't be hard to win

[@juliodeluna5823]

I only have 6 months in experience in painting I would of painted that truck so sick

[@josesaenz7757]

What year is the truck it’s awesome I like it I love old ford trucks

[@user-qu7jc8ht5q]

I am getting sick seeing this sir. I may have rattle can primered my c10, but at least I know it was done with care. Shops terrify me for this reason

[@3olemrac]

Wow, I hope you get your dream back!

[@acespades6958]

Tell me you didn't pay the guy. Take them to court. Still a beautiful truck.

[@aho2642]

you get what you pay for

[@juanlongoria4684]

BRO, MY SYMPATHY TO YOU, I WENT THRU A SIMULAR SITUATION WITH SUPPOSEDLY A PAINT AND BODY SHOP, MY TRUCK SAT THERE FOR 8 MONTH IT WAS STRIPPED DOWN AND BATTERY WAS STOLEN UNTIL I GOT TIRED OF WAITING FOR IT, SO TOOK A POLICE OFFICER TO RETRIEVE MY TRUCK AND I GAVE THEM 1100 DOLLARS AS A DOWN PAYMENT WHICH I NEVER GOT BACK, I WAS TOLD I COULD TAKE THEM TO COURT BUT THERE WAS GUARANTEE I COULD GET MY MONEY BACK.

[@ReshardsAutomotiveWorkshop]

I am getting into paint and body (working for others). I have anxiety attacks over messing up on a job. I would NEVER show my face again if i did something like that.

[@blaze-mh9eg]

Wtf did this guy do. Good god.

[@347mav3]

This is why I won't ever pay anyone to paint a vehicle for me again. I've been down this road.

[@RCWeldingsgarage]

I mean if your would have done this job with rattle cans I would have said bravo. But considering you paid for someone else to do it I feel bad for you. Good luck in the future with your project. Still a sweet ride.

[@beckygoza16]

never give money to someone unless your satisfied first with the finished product

[@nursekelly2834]

You should've looked it over prior to paying! That's PARTIAL your fault! There's NO WAY IN THE WORLD, I would have NOT looked it completely over, and I'm a female! Good luck with getting your money back! Because I "seriously doubt" that you see ONE RED CENT Of what you paid for that! My heart goes out to you brother, but you live and you learn!

[@TexasUnderbrushing]

Man in Texas to get a good paint job you need to pay at least 10k if you paid 3 in Texas you would get probably about the same thing so maybe you should just up the budget sorry for the truth but just being honest 3K doesn't get you nowhere here!! Check out my white truck 3K just to get five spots fixed!! But don't get discouraged man I know how you feel people just don't take pride in their work anymore. I've had so many projects go south because other people's work I just started learning how to do everything myself I know time is a factor that's why it takes me so long to put up new videos of my truck. But love the truck keep the videos coming I hope it all turns out well for you.

[@bobxx6396]

Buddy if your paying $10,000 for a paint job your getting bent over with no lube even at $4000 i will paint it my self and i live in Texas

[@brandonkeehn2779]

Love the holes my f150 had a thousand rust holes threw da floor boards an Shit

[@AlejandroRivera-ru8rn]

3K is not much for body work we all know that but probably the body shop promised full body work and paint for that price just to get the money and im sure is not the first time the body shop do this.

[@RoundTownWithMike]

didn't you ever check in on the progress?

[@panchovillanumero1]

Hey buddy I feel very sorry for you, but I got a question where did you take your truck to? Did you take it to a Hindu that just got here to this country?

[@Joesf-gd4kw]

I just want to cry for you man

[@Highwaybully78]

I almost want to cry for you

[@TheBigRagooDOTcom]

Still a nice looking truck bro

[@baloo217]

waaww. do yo got all that fix? they repaint the truck or they give you he money back?

[@curthall4096]

You didn't say what his comment was? Law Suit?

[@ryanhogan6509]

Dude, first off how many guys did you talk with that had paint jobs from him??

[@dalegribble60]

OMG and THAT'S why I don't trust nobody but ME.....I feel your pain.

[@donaldbelobraydic9996]

My Goodness. Painting is a permit to steal. You said tomato not potato. Wonder what happened to the stereo?

[@deliveryguyrx]

As my old bluegrass DJ would say," that's plum pitiful".Scammers and shammers are everywhere. You probably could have done the job better yourself, but I know you "wanted it done right".That hurts,bro.One day I'll get my car done 'right' but until then I'll be watching Rustoleum roller videos,lol.

[@juliocruzer7]

Why did u even pay him....thats so sad.

[@1_lureonefish256]

I think the truck looks nice . I wish I could take it off your hands..

[@vargaspueblo]

Wow. If i win the Powerball I help you get that truck right. That is just a damn shame. sorry brother.

[@ryanhogan6509]

Did he shoot primer sealer or a dtm sealer?

[@fofosu]

Get a GOOD lawyer, and don't settle for just your money back. Damages, damages, damages.

[@stefandwoodham]

You get what you pay for!

[@michaelstapleton5510]

before you do that call the better business bureau and they will either shut him down or make him give you your money back

[@little_fabrication7571]

You know? I was with this guy on the fact that these people screwed him over, but after I saw that trim in the scrap box it didn’t make me happy. I’m just a kid trying to take the summer to restore my 79 f150. I would’ve gladly given him $150 for that trim compared to the $25 he’s gonna get in scrap

[@christao2831]

this makes me angry,its not ruined,its still a beauty truck , people are jealous,if you have something nice and they don't, take it back or threaten to sue

[@raymosworld_8062]

Why didn’t you tell him to fill it before you payed in full?

[@omarramirez9815]

If you want a "SHOW TRUCK" be prepared to buy new Fender and expect to be paying anywhere from $7k for decent work up to $15k for "SHOW TRUCK" work It's not the end of the world at least you have a base to start off with fix the dents left on it sand it down, block it, replace the rusted parts take the bed off, take the glass off then find a reputable shop to redo and repaint it end of story

[@jp7489]

Still a nice truck👍

[@theejoeylee]

Top of the line pioneer ..$250 lmao! Hahaha ,seriously though,screw that shop

[@Bdr2sv01]

They have gone way down in price since most are now with a 6-8 inch display.

[@joshuacarey9367]

TheeJoeyLee lol😂

[@carlosmoreno7322]

TheeJoeyLee

[@carlwhetzel2759]

Id have his ass in court

[@davehollamon1985]

i feel for you, pissin' me off watchin' this! you're doin' the right thing by puttin' this on here, it's Plenty of Negative advertisement for his Crappy Shop.

[@mountaindewpower7895]

You can save a few dollars by buying a cheap setup for paint and youtube how to. Prep for paint is key

[@xaviersito87]

Wats the brand of those wheels I love it

[@smug8567]

Nice change to see a video that actually explains a weird phenomenon, instead of just presenting it with some brainless commentary

[@socksonfeet8125]

Can we get an update? What happened afterwards? I wish I was nearby I work on old vehicles, I could have helped you out for free- to a very low cost but Im in Houston , TX.

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Hundreds of hours in rebuilding the engine?

[@Will-216]

Looks to me like a 3k paint job. 10k plus for show quality

[@edgarguzman150]

That looks to me like a 3k paint job. A decent restaration start off 15k.

[@alvarosanabria216]

Edgar Guzman I agree, 3k is just applying paint, not repairing/restoring.

[@YoMoe843]

if that's what they agreed upon, he should get what was contracted. right?

[@joeludlow9764]

6 months and that shitty ? Anyone that thinks that's worth 3k must be a painter.

[@jenseninterceptors]

Depends on what the body shop agreed to do I suppose, but I'm very sure the owner of this truck could have done a better job himself

[@michaelriffle6370]

That's not worth 3k my truck is damn near show quality and it took less than 2k if I pay 3k it better look damn good

[@jrcruz2020]

You get what you pay for my man, sorry but that's how it is... 3k really? the PRICE should TELL you EVERYTHING...

[@josephlincoln7416]

I'm sorry somebody be getting their a s s whooped that is absolutely ridiculous shoddy workmanship that's a hack job brother I feel for you that's the reason why I'm learning to paint my 😭

[@thomaskohout8829]

I think he might owe you some money back, but I definitely think you're exaggerating about the work you did on that truck. And if he "didn't have lights" in his shop, you should have chosen the shop more wisely than you did.

[@duandavis]

Did he really pay $3,000 for that paint job. Me personally, I'm not leaving with the truck after seeing this kind of work.

[@John3_16Q]

y would you pay them??????

[@Bdr2sv01]

OMG!!! I hope you can get this fixed and sue his butt!! Not to mention someone Stole your Radio head unit!!! Bro I have a 67 f-100 and I pray I don't have this done to me!!

[@luiseduardozermeno690]

Do you selling your black ford and for How much?

[@raffy1us]

Hey man... Any updates? How's the project?

[@benhall8946]

Wow i live in rockymount i have a 77 f100 with centrerlines its a shortbed special edition

[@spankyranger8842]

How can you leave a body shop with the radio stolen , it's still a nice truck did he have a excuse for his work

[@yeboscrebo4451]

Is this real?

[@Redman1911TTV]

Did this ever get resolved?

[@brayanmacias6083]

Do it your self

[@garrysutton3225]

what you should do is ask for you money back plus the cost to undo the worK he screwed up on and if he don’t pay park your truck out the front of his shop with a sign on it stating what he has done to it and if that don’t work just kick the shit out out him

[@apollosgarage3123]

I painted and did body work on my dad's 68 mustang in autoshop class and did a better job then the guy he paid like 7,000 to for paint and body he got wat you got pretty much and I remember asking him if I could take it to school and paint and do body on it since the motor was rebuilt and he said sure I couldn't eff it up anymore then the guy did so I painted it and did the body work took till the end of the school year but I drove it home and told him to come look he loved it I felt so happy he was jumping for joy and he won 1st in a Local car show and 3rd in a outta state show

[@andyanaoutdoors2487]

I would have to agree for 3k it looks ok. If you are looking for show quality 15k to start and be ready to go to 30 plus Sorry you were unhappy and hope you can get some money minus materials back

[@douggerber83]

macco does a better job than that

[@janmartin2641]

yea i have a 69 f 100 that's why i do all the work myself. i even learned how to paint and weld from you tube. i think i can rustolleum roll on a paint job that looks better than that.

[@dirttrackdevil1149]

dude seriously that's a shit flat black paint job my 1976 got restored I paid 850$ for my paint job engine bay and all 100% professional and that was candy Cobalt blue!!! that's why ya get buddy buddy with your paint guy but looks nice

[@Budgetmods]

Mr happiness

[@texasobs_73esquivel94]

man sorry what happen.. I hate to see this type of work done on a truck like this man.

[@foxybrown2]

Body work was not done on that bed and did you tell him you wanted that hole fixed on that fender? because i fix what you tell me too . I tell by body shop buddies all the time get everything in writing and go over the list before the customer leaves the shop so we both know what is expected. So these kind of situations do not happen. Now that i have looked at the video again what this guy asked for is more than a 3000.00 paint job he had at least a 1000 in body work alone.

[@josegassolina6797]

3K doesn't get you very much these days when it comes to paint and body. You had to have known that this was what you were getting for 3K before hand

[@4al]

I'm sorry bro. I hate to hear/see stuff like this. I feel every ounce of your frustration. My advice to you is to DIY. Strip him all the way down and sand him to bare metal or get some aircraft stripper. Coat everything with etching primer and shoot it with Rustoleum Satin black #7777 from home depot. It will look great! You will appreciate it even more when you put your own attention to detail to it.

[@patrickmc.2011]

Yes its start all over, that engine will never be an engine in a show truck, you got to strip that back down to the block, the engine compartment is just a mess. THe bed, doesnt need body work it needs the panels replaces. Every panel can be replaced, and then patch panels at the very least. But ya sorry bud, but Id sell it as is cut your loss, cause your never going to be satisfied with what you got there. Start over with a new vehicle. My suggestion is sell cut losses and get new truck. Or start stripping it down to frame and go from ground up that is only way your going to have that vehicle in show truck quality.

[@luvillan4641]

Here I am thinking of taking my Mazda b2500 to the Maaco near my house hoping to get a good paint job for $1500 I must be delusional after looking at this

[@foxybrown2]

MACCO gets a bad rap their 1500 dollar paint job is not bad at all. It's the 300$ that is you get what you pay for.

[@bosshogg_210]

You ever fix it ?

[@usmcretired2112]

Sounds like you may have ran in to a guy in Poplar Bluff Missouri.

[@faust13301]

You can't have a show truck with a 3k paint job.

[@daytonrd17]

wow. that's just terrible. 3k for a full body job and paint with jams it a "to go to be true" price. seems likw he just lied about body work. 3k for a prep and paint is still really really cheap. Full body work and paint for 3k is just unheard of. usually just a quality respray with jams, even without body work is usually around 5k.

[@John3_16Q]

Dayton Diederich 5k is waaayyy too much. my bro was told 4k on full body work and base and cleae with quite a few cancerous holes on a 68 f250 highboy

[@AzTurboMini]

Here in Phoenix a show quality paint job with that amount of metalwork would be at least $8k on the low side and $15k+ on the high side. Just paint and materials cost around $2k. Having said that I feel for you but you get what you pay for.

[@DEATHISFREED0M]

Sue their asses
