Well as they say, "A picture says a thousand words!" There can be NO Justification for the chit work that these clowns did on your boat. Sorry Rob that you crossed paths with these clowns but rest assured that whatever temporary hell they put you through pales in comparison the hell that they are living every day. It is clear from your pictures (and from others that have come forward on FB) that this once renowned painter has flushed his professional reputation down the toilet.

watching it all unfold on FB was hard to see.
I personally LOVED his design but that is subjective. When it was "done" and he was posting pictures (best angles of course). I was like "holy sh*t, I am in love with this boat". To then see the pics you posted clearly of bad paint work, prep work, tape work, and more, it was just sad to see and I can not imagine how you felt.
The **** show that then followed after of him blaming you and then Bill all on a public forum showed his true character and how he works. It's sad to see someone with his talents not take a step back, own the mistake ,and try and move forward and learn. He only dug himself deeper IMO and you are right, KARMA will come.
You handled this the best you could have for such a crap situation, I hope the best comes out in the end and you get the boat you dreamed of. Frame that $500 as a keep sake and look forward to having that beauty back on the water soon.

I saw him and his wife in 2011 or 2012 doing touch ups under a covered area two docks over from the TNT boat house. Being surrounded by 100s' of millions in boats I thought they looked out of place.

He posted this last night on FB: "We at RCP haven't taken in any large projects due to the fact that I've been going to 2 sport-boat companies and painting their boats on location to save them time and money so we haven't been available to schedule any new work. You can guess who the companies are that contacted me,.....Don't Worry, I'm subcontracting!!! LOL both are famous in the industry, you'll just have to wait and see what comes next!!!! If this keep up I'll have to close the shop to keep up, the boats are big and highly detailed".
Would be interesting to know who he's painting for??

I'd bet any amount of money that this all boils down to a bad drug habit.
No other way to explain shoddy work and money disappearing like that......
This really sucks but like others have said, your attitude is great, I wouldn't have handled it even half as well as you did...........

There will always be the last guy to be taken. This is the kind of mess that has removed big players from this hobby for years. They get tired of being taken advantage of.
Good luck and sorry for your troubles!

Richy's obviously is a corrupt and criminal business operation. I may as well be the person to ask. Why didn't you fly down and see for yourself when your boat got in storage and you received mixed messages regarding others customer problems ? The reason I'm asking is I've been in similar situations but for significantly less money and regretted my inability to figure out I was being screwed until late in the game.

I dont know anyone involved in this **** show but it was clear from what he was saying on face book that guy is phucking looney. Maybe he’s inhaled to many paint fumes, mayber hes a tweaker. Either way i wouldnt let that guy near my boat.
How frustrating that must have been.
Hope 2018 is the best summer yet for you!
