I must have a sign that says "Bend over"
on it or something , the wheel I scratched and Progressive paid to have replaced ,I paid the $50 core charge to keep so the place I chose and came highly recommended from Progressive I think just repaired and painted my wheel the wrong color , you be the judge , Keep in mind he has the same "Before" pic before I dropped the wheel off ,
Before :
After :
The After pic he sent me at 5pm probably right before he left his shop so I haven't received a reply yet

Did you paint the whole wheel or just repair the scratched areas? I'm hoping your shop lighting makes the wheel look like a lighter color?

Hello SIr,
Its my shop the lighting isn't the best we did refinish the whole rim it was done with the same ford color. We don't do spot repairs meaning we just touch up the damaged area. Your whole rim had to be refinished its ready whenever you want to come and pick it up.
I definately will not pick it up unless i'm driving my Bullitt to compare to.

It appears to be a correct Ford paint color, just not the correct color for the Bullitt. These wheels were available in at least three different painted finishes, black, light gray, and dark gray. The Bullitt should have the darker gray as shown in the first pic. I can't imagine any kind of poor lighting would make the darker gray look like the lighter gray.

How.... I mean, seriously, how... do you get that wrong a color? You turned it in with the 'right' color, yeah?
That's not just lighting... the valve stem is still black...
Seriously... o.0

Looks wrong in the pictures right? He swears it was matched before work started on it so Jarrett called today to say my car was finished but i'm at work and it will have to wait until I get off tomorrow morning (Since they already paid for todays rental car) but i'll run to Tampa to pick up the wheel and I "SHOULD" have my Bullitt to match it against , If it is correct I will get the paint code from him since he should he used a Ford paint.

I'm hoping the valve stem still looks black because it doesn't have the gloss finsh like the painted wheel plus I did tell him he could remove it if it would make it easier to refinish the wheel so possibly it's a replacement stem? And he did have the "Before" pic he should've referred to if needed
