I had my quarter panel repaired at my Local Ford dealer due to what felt like it should have been a minor scrape…unfortunately it completely tore through the quarter. I will start by saying two paint jobs later it looks great and you cant tell it was repaired, that being said upon arriving to pick up the car after a long 13 days of waiting for “parts” (What parts, it’s a quarter panel?) I noticed when we pulled it out of the garage into the sunlight it seemed to “sparkle” as my wife stated. I pointed it out to the repair tech and was told that it was just because of the “sun” and it would look fine after I washed it (I know, I wasn’t buying it either), so I asked to speak with the body supervisor who tried selling me the same BS, until some other “oldtimer” admitted that it looks like they must have mixed the paint in either a gun or container or something that wasn’t completely cleaned out and it looked like I had metal flake on my Windveil Blue Car. They agreed to repaint it after a heated conversation and calling my insurance company to make a complaint, another 6 days later, I had it back looking brand new…I swear they took their time to p’ me off, needless to say I haven’t been back to that dealer…
Matt M with is great story about unexpected paint contaminants…
“I purchased some Xenon Quarter Window Scoops from AM a few months back. After receiving the package in the mail, i rushed over to the paint shop (i will not post what shop, but let’s just say that they are a very HUGE business) to get them painted. After waiting a WEEK for them to get painted, they were finally done. I went to go pick the scoops up and i realized all the defects the paint had. There was orange peel, little chunks of black stuff (i don’t know what it is) dust, and best one yet, a FLY LEG! Yes, a fly leg. I talked to the manager to see if they would fix it and he said “We only cover if the paint matches or not” . For my loss, they matched.”
Hysterical Matt! Thanks for the laugh.
And thanks to everyone who shared their painted parts tales of woe. We look forward to hearing more positive stories as more of our pre-painted parts get out on the road where they belong.
