Problem is, they believe it to be a problem with the metallic paint under the clearcoat finish and if so, there is nothing they can do! I said that if this is the case, GM should pay for the effected panels to be repainted, but was told that the GM warranty inspector would not permit it and deny the claim. There is also a paint drip at the bottom of the drivers door and a sand speck in the paint on the upper part of the rear drivers wheel well too. I'm very surprised that these issues weren't caught in QC especially since they have a much better lighting system there which would've been easier to detect these issues long before the vehicle was shipped to the dealer.
I've shown these problems to some of the guys that work on the line for the Camaro and they told me this is total  . They said if the GM inspector says not to do it, just ask for his manager / supervisor to come to the dealership and view how bad it is and then tell him how pissed I am with GM's quality control. Is this the best method??? I would appreciate any advice on this matter! |
Pick up some SwirlX and try rubbing in on a small part of the effected area. If it makes it better the it's on the surface, otherwise buffing probably won't help. I'd avoid a repaint unless it's really noticeable...hate having that new car smell replaced by the smell of paint.
