Every year it just gets worse - the stories you read and the quantity of them.

Maybe try to be firmly polite to start with (and see how that goes) as you give a quick reminder that 2 weeks has turned into 6 months, and you no longer want the car to be painted. Just want it back , as-is.

If you ask for money back - he will claim You owe Him money.
The money is long gone
Forget the money

If he seems hesitant to let you have the car - shift into the ignorant and mean mode.
Maybe 3 or 4 of you go and all walk with a limp - using baseball bats as walking sticks as you limp along.

It is no longer a business deal
It is a hostage situation
