Bumper paint peeling... Should body shop be responsible?

[Cheftjpeck]

Less than a year ago my car had the whole nose repainted however it just seems like the paint is just coming off way too easily.. Mind you my car is a daily driver but it's hard to believe that my nose of my car should look this bad already.... The dealer did the body work do you think it's worth bringing it back to themand fighting to have it repaired again on them?? It looks like my car has freckles and the primer shows through...
:banghead:

Yep... that's not right.

This is from the 350Z who blasted you with rocks, right?


If it's a dealership shop, they should cover it. Otherwise time to call Darkside in after he has some time with Momma D.

Can you take a picture and post it here? On my 05, I had that simular thing happen on mine. It was repainted like yours but at a private body shop. There might not have been enough flex agent in the paint. I chalked mine up to road rash because I traveled the highways all the time and get behind trucks when I didn't want to be. Many cars will have that problem if they are traveling on the highway a lot. You might be ablel to get some credit to repaint it from the same place.

I will try and get some... I do travel the highway everyday and allot of construction going on but it looks bad

That sucks. If it's pealing off, it's bad prep work most likely.

concur...peeling away is diff then chips from road debris.....take it back...

Once you get that fixed, you need to invest in a clear bra. It is saving the front of my car really well.

I need to get one installed on mine.

Chef,

Go back to where you had it painted and show them what's wrong. There is no denying that is it bad paint work. You did take it back to the dealership that you bought it from didn't you? If they outsource their body/paint work, those guys will need to make it right.

We can go talk to those guys when you get back from the House of Mouse. I still need to see Nissan boy as this all tracks back to him.......

Your car will be made right or someone will be very very unhappy.
