....have said no to colour coding the plastics?

They said it would crack after a certain amount of time. I said i'd even smooth them out and sand them down & prime them, he said he still wouldn't touch them. They'd crack and when people ask where I got it done it won't look good for him....

Anybody else fine this a bit odd?

I think they just don't want to do your work and fobbing you off.
Just go elsewhere.

He sounds like a plank anyway.
I'd rather go to somewhere where i feel my car will be in good hands. Regardless of costs and travel.

Hes being honest with you there i'd say mate.

Better than taking a few hundred off you for doing a job that will look bad in 12 months.

chips away suck willys anyways, they use 1k paint which will flake etc within a few months anyways.

Personally i hate plastics, but if you use proper plastic primers etc and scotch and clean them properly they should be fine.

They manage to do them properly from the factory
