Paint job price goes up when finished

I had a verbal agreement with a private person to paint my car for $4500 plus materials. I paid him in full and purchased all of the materials for the job, a total of $1500. 13 months later he calls me and tells me the car is finished. I go there and the car is parked outside, blocked in by other vehicles. He now informs me that he needs another $3200 before I can take the car home. He painted the car in his garage, and it is not a $10000 paint job. What are my rights ? Is this some type of criminal fraud?

What? That is quite a bit to paint a car.

So you had nothing in writing, nothing stating that he was going to paint it for the agreed arrangement?

Yeah this sounds like you are getting ripped off! I would take him to small claims court!
