I hate to say it, but your kit may not be worth saving. I don't wanna rag on you or anything, but the Wings West kit is kinda shoddy to begin with. Combined with the poor paintjob and refusal of other body shops to help out, you might just consider getting rid of it or trying to pawn it off to someone else. It'd probably take a healthy amount of money to get the paint stripped and redone properly and professionally.
I suggest starting over with a nicer kit (C-West, Alles Create, Prova, Aqua FSP, etc.) and getting the painting done right this time. This probably wasn't what you wanted to hear, huh?

The fact that most major bodyshop does not except aftermarket part and parts that are made from fiberglass is because people are taking it back for the warranty to repaint. This will cost them a whole bunch of cash and time.
