I picked up my black '09 GT last Tuesday, and on Wednesday I noticed that there was a slight chip on the upper part of the driver's door. The dealership has offered to paint the door for me to correct the problem. A friend of mine claims that the paint job will not match the rest of the car due to the fact that it will be a newer paint job than the rest of the body. Should I be concerned about this?

 

at worse they will blend it so you can't see it (if they do it correclty that is)

 

Mine is going in soon to have the rear qtr. re-painted. IT BETTER MATCH!

 

guess you have 2 choices... trust that will do it correctly or live with the chip.

 

My dealership had to repair some in-transit damage to my rear bumper when I bought it plus I had them paint my rear window louvers about 1 year later. They did an excellent job. Absolutely excellent match on both.

 

Depends on the prep and painter!

 

It ll be fine i just had a bumper painted AU ford black the car is an 06 the bumper is just from the Saleen plant and got painted, then when i put it on there wasnt a difference AT ALL!, plus my painter is one of the best!

 

I wouldn't worry, you should be just fine

 

Black is the EASIEST color to match.........there's only 1 black. The "issue", if you want to call it one, is going to be the loss of the factory orange peel being replaced by a very smooth, slick finish most painted parts exhibit once the factory paint is altered.

 

I also had a chip in my driver side door. Dealer painted it and it was fine. I don't think you will have a problem.
