Just an update and rant. The first time when I spoke to the guy he discounted it and said they could do it again, but it would just chip so I let it go thinking I will just do it myself. But recently I was there for another job they were working on so I decided to talk to the Manager and express my dissatisfaction over that issue and he said they would "take care of it for free" Well they did repaint it and it looked good...

But guess what happened after 2 flippin weeks? Yes blue chips on the grill AGAIN. Seems all they did is respray it with no prep!

I assume, the reason this happened in the first place, is because after they messed up and painted the grill blue and clear coated it, and I brought it to their attention, they SIMPLY painted over the clear coat with the MATTE BLACK!

Well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that it will chip easily and expose the undercoat.

I am pissed and will just do it myself later this summer after I starts to look like sh!t. I will be sainding it down to the plastic, and repainting it with some kind of durable black spray paint.

What do you guys recommend? Bed liner spray? I could do plastidip but I want something permanent...
