"Blue spots" under my paint job

[DARK HORSE]

Keeping the Avatar fresh Tad? I'm inspired! I gotta get something else up here on mine!

I'm liking your new avatar as well Corey. Your paint looks so smooth and silky that it reminds me of strawberry whip cream

Modern auto body technology allows body shop techs to match paint nearly identical in color to the rest of the car. What is real hard to match is the texture.

The avatar is the picture in the upper left hand corner just below the screen name. In my case it is the picture of my car, just below where it says DARK HORSE...

man I can hardly see all that shiny paint in your avatar with all those clouds in the way !

So went to the dealer yesterday and they told me that the car was probably wet sanded and sealed / reclearcoated. The bodyshop guy told me that it was rail dust and they will need to essentially wet sand repaint and reclearcoat the entire front end of the car - So much for having a brand new truck

1200 miles and a new paint job - GREAT

Is it new, like 2010/2011 new? If they didn't disclose damage upon purchasing the vehicle you may have some recourse.

They wanna wetsand and reshoot the clear because of raildust? Claybar would be a more practical approach IMO

To elaborate - what i think happened was this car was a swap with my local dealership - it was on a lot in New Jersey - they probably saw the raildust at the original lot and did a lousy wetsand job and re-clearcoated over existing dust they did not get off - I tried claying it myself but it is under the clear coat so no luck there

I have it the worst on the hood so that will have to be done - howver the spots are about the size of a sharpie markers point and there is only a few on the fenders (by a few i mean 1 or 2) so i might leave well enough alone on those

Any thoughts on if I should let them redo the whole frontend?

Again - just a very aggravating and frustrating experience given its a brand new car

Any chance you could post a picture of the damage you speak of?
