How picky are you about paint?

Im

I want to know who they sent it to for the paintwork

 

I will find out

 

I would expect even a non picky person to be very upset about the issues. Too many HACKS out there!

 

I agree, I am a plumbing contractor and little things normally don't bother me. But it was said by someone else when you lay out 50K it better be right.

 

Totally agree.
I have to keep my blood pressure as close to normal as possible is why i never had anyone touch my turck.

 

The paperwork says Central auto body

 

Haven't heard much about them

 

Yes, very much!

 

Requesting a new truck is a long shot, I seriously doubt that the dealer will make that happen. At best they might have it repainted, you will likely have to push pretty hard for this. Once you sign on the line, you own it.
Detailed walk around inspections by my wife and I are critical before I consider signing any documents taking take delivery. This usually takes us 20-30 min.
We use USAA car buying service, if the truck or car is not flawless, we walk.

Unfortuneately MGM paint like black is a scratch/swirl magnet. I looked at a brandy new 17 Tundra awhile back at the dealer while in for my last service. It had tiny scratches in a few spots and you could see the light primer underneath.

Tundra paint is thin...XPEL.com paint protection was one of my first mods on my SS metallic paint. It's Excellent paint protection if you plan on keeping your vehicle.

Hope you get your issue resolved. Keep us posted

 

Hell yes it would bother me also I am for sure OCD about everything I own. My wife makes fun of me for waxing my tractor and mitt washing it. Lol

 

Indeed @Prostar 190 vehicles and our home the most expensive purchases we make in life, why not take good care of both?

 

Here is the worst of it, it went back today. The wife ( I was not able to be there) tore them a new one as they tried to treat her as though she was stupid.

 

After seeing pics...

Yeah.

Naw dog.

Fuck that.

 

I dont think so...just never hear about em

 

That was for sure shoddy workmanship must have buffed it with mud on it. Lol

 

The damn thing is that door was fine before, they "fixed" the other one.

 

Amateurs sorry about your luck.

 

I would reach out the corporate, expressing you have attempted to have your paint fixed 3 times, and it is worse now than when you started. Not sure what they will do but it might get you a new paint job or reimbursed for what it costs to fix it.

I am very OCD with my paint. I am that guy to wash, polish, and wax his Cub cadet rider mower Don't hate.... I paint enhanced (variable speed buffer) for extra money prior to landing this job, I'd take an effed up job (like your truck) and make her look wet and fresh. To do it properly it would take me every bit of 36 working hours (not seeing it in person just guessing how bad it is by the picture). To bad your not closer to MD. I know you don't want to pay but I wouldn't take your truck back to them because they are eating up your clear coat.

 

Thanks for rhe input. I am going to call them today and find what the game plan is, they are supposed to repaint the door. I am going too ask for photographs of it being done. We have already told them we wil not accept crap again and they can shove this truck where it (well you kow).

 

So another conversation with the service manager and the plan is to re do just the clear coat. We will see how it turns out.

 

Good luck on the out come.

 

Any one have suggestions on a light source to check for holograms as there is less and less sunlight. Are halogen lights good for this?

 

Sorry to see that dude. When it comes to fixing paint it can definitely go wrong. I had a bad chip after 32 miles and had a guy that promised to make it look almost new almost make it worse. Getting it resprayed I was told is no guarantee it wont look worse when trying to clear coat match, so I left. Become a slippery slope. I hope they can fix it properly and make you satisfied.

 

Hey Scott, they said it is done and they "applied" clear coat. I am hesitant t even go look at it as I may lose what is left of my ability to not strangle someone. Can this even be done in a day and a half? Can I bring it to you and look it over.

 

Yes...bring it to me

 

PM Me "DUDE"

 

Cool, tell me where to go. Pm me if you want.

 

It says i cant send you a message
