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.”

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

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.”
