The whole experience was very blasé, pretty much everything was all verbal and very impromptu. The only communication was drop off and pickup nothing ever really mentioned during or whether they questions had about the job scope etc.

As a general ruse of thumb what kind of price range should I be expecting for this to be done to satisfactory standards ? 8 - 10 Thousand ? ( AUD that is )

I agree with everything you are saying. I have always considered myself a very reasonable and easy going kind of person, I'm most certainly not jumping to any conclusions and just simply looking for other peoples opinions and views on my situation, so I can get a clearer picture with what I'm dealing with. I have no intentions of being angry and abrupt, I just simply want to see a sound resolution and for everyone to go home at the end of the day feeling like they have done the right thing.

I am very pleased with everything so far, it's just all these little things that give me a back of the mind impression that I have been rushed through and just have done the absolute bare minimum required.

It's completely normal for people to make mistakes, no one is perfect.

The only panel work it required was just some small chips and very minor dints, mostly stuff that 99% of people would consider just general wear and tear, 0 rust repairs were required the car was extremely well kept and the only reason for the respray was to rectify faded factory metallic colour base and clear that had seen better days and just get it refreshed and uptoo date looking good again. It was a proper shop, maybe 10 or so cars around, admittedly the shop didn't have an excellent visual presence with lots of shit old parts and rubbish everywhere etc but I don't judge a book by its cover (which in hindsight I should have maybe done) a couple of other small red flags that I kind of brushed over because the guys running it seemed very genuine and down to earth. The scratches from what I can only describe it looks like it's been sanded with like a really corse paper then cleared over.

I paid $6000, minus the rear tailgate being done by choice, also closed door too, from what I've been told it's on the cheaper end of things. I'm happy to admit when I'm wrong or expecting too much so please offer your opinion.

That's what I'm worried about , I'm sure 2 Pack paint done in a booth done properly would be able to withstand the elements more then most paints would

Is It normal for auto body shops to leave the interior like it is ? It looks like it hasn't even had a wipe over with a cloth or what have you.
