Yep.. A lot of "trickery" as you say in my field. Believe it or not, for a long time, the collision repair business was collectively improving. That's much to the credit of improved equipment and chemicals. Now, again, the industry is suffering because both the equipment and the chemicals are changing.. but not for the better. Shops are even starting to supply the technician's tools.

It's economics.. At one time, it was a lucrative enough trade that there were a lot of competent, prideful people coming in to the business. Now the shops want to retain an ever smaller piece of the pie, so the techs are marginalized.. A lot more skilled technicians are getting it than they are coming in. So the equipment and paint manufacturers have been working tirelessly to deliver products that a monkey can use, and learn to use them quickly.

The results are commensurate to what you might expect when you trade skill for speed.

To original poster Mark:
I concur with Worf.
Check your fuses. In fact, just replace fuses at #7 and #24.
Please report back.
Your thread might survive.

Also, to the OP: If double/triple-checking the fuses doesn't cure, or mostly-cure, the problem we will need details on what, exactly, the body shop did so that we can figure out what they mostly likely eff'd up.
