Dis-colored paint on my bumper - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Almost looks like the paint hasn't cured all the way. It may go away with time. Or a coat of wax.

P.S. - the overbuffing others have mentioned makes sense too.

This is make ready damage. Do you have any pics off the truck or before they prepped it? I don't like it when they try to wax or put sealants on etc.

Did they charge you any sealant fee's?

WHOA...that is horrible....don't touch it, just take it back and make them fix it!

ezlock83 · 06-08-2009, 07:28 PM

no fee's. I have emailed my dealer so we'll see. I mean it really isn't that noticeable during the daytime hours but at night or in shade its bad. So i am hoping it can be fixed.

I am thinking it came off the truck like that. The way its only on the bumper. if it was on the hood too then i would think maybe it was done after.

The paint is also more delicate on the polyU surface.

Well i know i have not polished or waxed the car. I have only washed it once since i got it.

Matrix · 06-08-2009, 07:36 PM

Covered undert warranty. That HAS to be fixed or kick up a stink!

Vash · 06-08-2009, 07:37 PM

Well of course it's just a theory. It looks like several circles.

Then again maybe it's as simple as excess wax.

nards444 · 06-08-2009, 07:39 PM

thats why strip it with dish soap that gets rid of wax. wash then wax it

ezlock83 · 06-08-2009, 07:43 PM

If you seen it in person you wouldn't sat it was circles. the pics really don't give you a real idea of what it looks like.

Thrillz · 06-08-2009, 07:58 PM

I have to admit if this was a used car and i seen that i would try some colorx by megs. But that being said dont touch it let the dealer fix it on there dime.

RELAX! Take it to the dealer. They will repaint or fix it. It's a brand new car, unless you did it.....did you? Maybe got a little over excited with an orbital buffer perhaps......
