Re: New Car - Dealership Messed Up Paint
What makes you say the dealer did it? Why did you take the car do the dealer in the first place? Was there damage there? Did they do paint work?

I got the car Brand New from the Honda Dealership in our area. They also have a paint shop at the back of their building which is another building.
It is under warranty and just a month old when i saw the paint defect. So i took it back to them to correct it but they just made it worse.
sorry if my post is confusing

Re: New Car - Dealership Messed Up Paint
I'm not sure, but I'm getting the feeling that this car was damaged after delivery from the factory, and was spot repaired in a shop by the dealer when they received it. Or more likely "after" they received it.
I could be wrong, but perhaps a paint gauge , and someone who knows paint could better tell the story.
Rare that vehicles, come like that from the factory.

Re: New Car - Dealership Messed Up Paint
I could be wrong again, but that driver's side rear door looks "2-tone" to me. That entire rear door may have been re-sprayed I'm thinking.
Think a dealer would tell a customer that when they buy the car, "well hey, we had to re-spray the car, there was some damage". Sure!
Sure it's rough, that's commonly the work, and trademark of many hurry up and get R done paintshops today.
They certainly aren't going to send the car out to Chip Foose for a re-spray.

Hi Mark thanks for your input. I actually dropped by a friend who paints cars and he did say he's positive it was re-touched by the dealership as he can tell the color difference was sanded quickly. and he also see's some painters tape markings on the rubber door seal. He advised that it needs to be done right. Repaint the panel and re-cleared also the drivers door should also be sprayed halfway and re-cleared as well.
Damn, so should i just have them re-do it and also ask for some kind of compensation?
Thanks again for your inputs.

Re: New Car - Dealership Messed Up Paint
The before "fix" photos
this is a photo of the car before i had them "fix" the rough area. its not yet "2 tone". maybe they just messed up buffing it too much?

Re: New Car - Dealership Messed Up Paint
It's a new car. Make them take it back and get a new one without defects. Unless they claim you caused the damage, then that's a whole new story. Good luck.

Re: New Car - Dealership Messed Up Paint
If a car is damaged and needed body repairs, the dealer must disclose this fact when you buy a new car. In California that is a state law. This obviously REDUCES what the car is worth. You have wasted enough time at the dealer, call Honda's Corporate Headquarters and explain what happened. Get a document from the body shop you went to that states that the panel has obviously been repainted. Demand that your car be exchanged with a new one immediately. They would be foolish not to take care of this. If you get the runaround contact an attorney.
