Brand New 2018 seems to be re-painted?
Hi,
Just bought a new 2018 A10 Blk Zl1 a couple weeks ago. It's been kind of cloudy and rainy since then so I couldn't really see the car in the light. Had it taken to a detailer this morning to get it ceramic coated, before they touched the car they called me saying theirs a lot of over sprayed areas and wet sanded areas on the car and asked if it was in an accident before? I said no cause its brand new. They suggested that it had been in an accident because its so over-sprayed and the paint is very cloudy/orange peeled. Called the dealer, waiting a response from the manager. Just wanting to know if this has happen to anyone else? p.s. also the rear bumper is misaligned like crazy Just my luck -Thanks |

Did it sit at the dealer for a while? Possible they damaged it and repaired it.

Post some pics please. If it's that bad the dealer will have to work with you.

Don't feel too badly, a friend's Demon has repainted fenders on it. From the factory too.

If dealership did paint work on a new car they are supposed to disclose that. Sometimes if it is very very minor they don't say anything. A good rule of thumb is 1% of the MSRP. So on a 68K ZL1 if damage and repair was around 680.00 you should of been notified when you bought it.

With that being said, it's not uncommon for these cars to come in with wet sanded spots that need to be polished. Typically a good hand polish will fix any such areas. |
