I gave my customer a lovely fence upgrade but they refused to pay – I got the ultimate revenge & people say ‘good on ya’
A PROFESSIONAL spray painter and decorator has revealed what really happens when a customer refuses to pay.
So if you’re unhappy with a service you’ve had recently, you’ll need to listen up and prepare to be stunned.
Posting on social media, the labourer explained what went down after he gave one of his customers a lovely fence upgrade.
The tradesman acknowledged that his client was unhappy with the painted black fence and as a result, didn’t pay the man, who works for a company called Finishing Touch Sprayers.
Clearly fuming, the man took matters into his own hands to ensure he got the ultimate revenge.
In a short clip shared online, the workman gave his followers a close-up look at one of his customer’s black fences.
After his payment was withheld, the manual worker slammed: “Can’t pay, we’ll take it away.”
He then used a pressure washer to remove the black paint from the fences, instantly turning them a golden brown.
Following this, the man confirmed: “Took our paint back because [the] customer wouldn’t pay.”
Eager to know what others would do if they were in the same situation, he then asked: “What would you do? Would you do the same?”
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @finishing.touch.s, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 123,000 views in just one day.
Not only this, but it’s also amassed 1,059 likes and 341 comments.
But numerous social media users were stunned by the man’s original paint job and claimed that it “looked better after”.
One person said: “I wouldn’t have paid either.”
Another added: “It looks better now.”
He clearly added a paint stripper then pressure washed it off. Hence the before look

A third commented: “You didn’t do a good job so…looks better after you removed the shoddy paint job!”
Meanwhile, someone else questioned: “How long ago did you paint it? Looks like it was peeling anyway.”
How high can a garden fence be?
Despite what many people think a garden fence can be as high as 100m but you need to get planning permission for any fence taller than 2m.
Any fence under 2m does not need planning permission.
However, there are some complications to this.
If you are thinking about front garden fences, restrictions state that fences alongside a driveway can be a maximum of 1m or 3ft.
You would need to get planning permission for putting a trellis on a fence of 2m.
But, if any plant that you grow on that trellis exceeds 2m, you do not need to obtain a permit for the growing plant.
But to set the record straight, one user responded and explained: “You think a pressure washer took the paint off?
“He clearly added a paint stripper then pressure washed it off. Hence the before look.”
Not only this, but the expert also confirmed that this indeed was the case, as when asked “Why does all the paint look like it’s been on ages and peeled off?”, he simply confirmed: “Paint stripper”.
Good on ya… Don’t do it for em again
TikTok user
At the same time, others were horrified that the man’s customer had refused to pay.
One user slammed: “How shameful not to pay.”
A second claimed: “Some people have no morals.”
Whilst someone else penned: “Good on ya… Don’t do it for em again, you don’t need the hassle.”

Surge in support for Reform in by-election puts Labour seriously under threat, warns expert
A SURGE in support for Reform in a hotly-contested by-election puts Labour seriously under threat, an expert has warned.
Nigel Farage’s party finished a close third with more than 26 per cent of the vote narrowly behind both Labour and the SNP in the ballot in Hamilton, Scotland.
The party said it was a “remarkable” turnaround picking up 7,088 compared to just 58 votes in the constituency in 2021 as it attempted to win its first seat in Holyrood.
Election guru John Curtice said it would be a “serious misreading” to believe that Labour had turned round its election fortunes, with the Scottish elections next May.
He told the BBC: “Reform are making the political weather north of the border, as indeed they are south of the border.”
Reform deputy leader Richard Tice said: “We’ve come from nowhere to being in a three-way marginal, and we’re within 750 votes of winning that by-election and just a few hundred votes of defeating the SNP.”
The performance came just hours after Zia Yusuf resigned as party chair plunging the party into chaos following a row about banning burqas.
In a parting shot, he said he no longer believed trying to get Nigel Farage elected as PM was a “good use of my time”.
Mr Yusuf’s shock resignation – just weeks after masterminding their local elections triumph – came after an internal row about banning the burqa.
The multi-millionaire ex-businessman had attacked the party’s newest MP Sarah Pochin as “dumb” for asking Sir Keir Starmer to outlaw the Muslim face covering in the Commons.
But insiders said tensions at the top of Reform had been brewing for some time, with the chairman feeling increasingly sidelined.
In a statement, Mr Yusuf said: “Eleven months ago I became Chairman of Reform.
“I’ve worked full time as a volunteer to take the party from 14 to 30 per cent, quadrupled its membership and delivered historic electoral results.
“I no longer believe working to get a Reform government elected is a good use of my time, and hereby resign the office.”
Cops foil suspected terror attack on soldiers protecting King Charles in ‘huge security scare’
POLICE have foiled a suspected terror attack on soldiers protecting King Charles.
Military personnel at a barracks just a stone’s throw from Windsor Castle were warned not to leave the grounds in uniform after a man was arrested.
The alert remained in place for two days at Victoria Barracks, home to the 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards.
A source said: “The suspect is feared to have been plotting an attack.
“Police informed bosses at the barracks and measures were taken immediately despite him already being in custody.
“It was a huge security scare. But it was in the interests of everyone’s safety.”
Thames Valley Police first arrested the 20-year-old in Slough, Berks, last week on suspicion of possessing an offensive weapon and arson at the nearby Salt Hill Activity Centre.
While in custody on Sunday, he was re-arrested on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts.
The investigation is now being led by Counter Terrorism Policing South East.
The suspect is believed to be a “lone actor” and no other arrests have been made.
Police said they were stepping up patrols to reassure the public.
The Ministry of Defence was approached for comment.
