Rear Bumper in for painting

Zrod · 02-09-2010, 04:08 PM

Be carefull! I recently found out just how cheap dealerships can be. When I bought my car she had 2 scratches on the front bumber so it was agreed on at the signing that they had to paint the front bumper. I was told they use an expert who has done work on several of theyre cars in the past and he's very good. When I pick up the car it all looks pretty good but it was a very cloudy day and the rest of the car was dirty so it was a bit hard to tell. A couple days later after some bad weather I finally get a chance to wash the car.

MAN was i pissed at the results, it appears as if they didnt even use a paint booth theres pitting around the emblem mostly but other spots too. Worst of all is they didnt use the proper amount/type of clear coat so it looks dull almost semi-matte. I called them with all my fury but they say they cant do anything about it. Ill prob just end up getting it painted myself by someone I trust.
