Diesel Dually 07-15-2006, 09:12 PM Well that is the bad news...small cracks are showing up in the finish of my hood. :mad: Good news is, as of today, pending the boss' approval, the dealership will be painting my hood the week of 8/7. Let us all keep our fingers crossed. thehotone20 07-16-2006, 01:50 AM Hope everything works out for you, how much will you have t o pay or will the dealership pay for it all? Timmy2500 07-16-2006, 02:29 AM is there rust under the chips GM has always had the 100,000mi warrenty on the body (only for rust) Diesel Dually 07-16-2006, 10:41 AM No rust, dealership says it is a warranty item. But we will see. Tom S. 07-16-2006, 02:27 PM is there rust under the chips GM has always had the 100,000mi warrenty on the body (only for rust) Warranty is for RUST THROUGH, not rust! Diesel Dually 07-16-2006, 03:33 PM Who knows for sure? I am going down tomorrow AM to speak to the service manager to make certain they are ponying up. Nothing is for certain unless they spray the hood for free...besides there are plenty of rock hits from the highway. If they pain the hood for free, I get a $600 paint job on the arm...otherwise, I aould need to fix the rock damage myself. Either way, I would not be disappointed. Diesel Dually 08-01-2006, 02:01 PM Official word today is: I am out of the 3/36, and am on my own. Good Job with the cheap clear coat on my $40,000 + Rig. I will be out ~$600 to fix. mp350 08-01-2006, 08:54 PM Diesel Dually: May I make one recommendation...... Who ever you bring it to. MAKE sure that they strip the hood to bare steel. If the shop tries to short cut it by sanding and primering over the cracks, then it will just shrink and swell (thus ruining your fresh paint work.) Diesel Dually 08-21-2006, 12:49 PM I am already on it...thanks. I got a friend of a buddy of mine who will do the whold shebang for ~$300. Thanks Tom S. 08-22-2006, 11:57 AM I am already on it...thanks. I got a friend of a buddy of mine who will do the whold shebang for ~$300. Thanks Now might be a good time to get some of your plastic pieces (bumper, mirror, etc.) done too - while your buddy's in a good mood. :D Diesel Dually 10-14-2006, 06:11 PM Ok...got the hood painted. A little Mothers Back to Black for the trim pieces and I am good to go. I cannot quote the price, but Thanks to Mike Shaw Chevy in Denver for great Customer Service and a smoother than a baby's rump paint job! Truely impressive! Warman 10-15-2006, 11:59 AM My '03 is beginning to show signs of cracking as well. I've been like the Karate Kid from the very beginning having babied it with multiple coats of $30/can Black Magic pure carnuba. I've clay detailed it several times. I haven't approached the dealer about it yet but plan to in the near future. I don't know if it is bad form to plug a supplier on this board but topoftheline.com has a great selection of premium detailing supplies. | ||
