May not necessarily be another 100k, but the warranty work will definately NOT expire 2000 miles after the repaint. Food for thought when you or anyone goes for paint.

Make absolutely sure whomever writes up the paperwork tells you what the warranty will be from that day. If you had the car for 6 months and they only repaint the trunklid, you should have 5 years from that date and the remaining car 4y6m. If you have a metallic trunklid and GM blends the quarters in, the entire blended area is reset to 5 yr warranty.

There are some exceptions...If you have 2 years left, they may extend your warranty another 3 years, but not another full 5.

Good to know. Thanks.

Hey PQ, wondered if you got this fixed, and how it went with the dealer. If you had any problems, how long it took etc...
