My unbiased view:
HJ's premature confidence may have been misinterpreted by BeeDee as perfect repair and perfect paint. HJ's repair looks phenomenal. I honestly didn't know what was wrong until I realized the paint was off. Paint is still well done in itself though and pretty close. Again, expectations may have been set high for BeeDee by HJ.
Item did take a little longer to return but HJ did respond accordingly. We all have things going on in our lives which I believe HJ faintly mentioned (change of addresses, etc.) that he may not shared at the moment which may contribute to the delay. However, constantly promising a shipping date to someone with high expectations already and patiently waiting and failing to meet it, can be very aggravating.
Verdict: Item was repaired and returned in one piece. Services were rendered. I see no need for a refund. BeeDee's court claims are more personal than anything. This could have been all avoided if emotions didn't take over for the both of you.
HJ is good in my books. I don't know him nor have dealt with him. I just don't see any signs of him being a scammer and he did what he said he was going to do, an awesome repair job.
BeeDee: Remember when the statue broke and how you felt. You went online to find someone to help you. You had 0 feedback. HJ did you a favor by accepting to repair it for you. Step back, ignore his rash words, forget how long it took, breath and take a look at the repair. And like someone mentioned, if you want a perfect paint job, you might want to seek a professional. I think the repair in itself was worth the money.
