Help! Need advice on paint chip on roof of new Camaro. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ok, dealer called and said my car had a small dent on the roof caused by a chain or something from the shipping company. They fixed the ding, but their is a small paint chip around a 2mm by 4mm on the roof. Would I be better having their body shop sand it, and repaint the area, or have it touched up? They will do either and I am wondering if anyone has an opinion either way?

What might be small to the dealer...might look different when you see it...

If the dent is out to your satisfaction, I would have the body shop just touch it up, rather than painting an area, and would ask for a discount off the price of 300-$500. Just my 2 cents.

Does anyone know if there is a risk of having new factory paint refinished due to the chiop? Would it weakent it in anyway?

Well sounds like you have no choice. Other than refusing the whole car.

Good luck.. the driver or whoever did it should be waterboarded btw.
