Fender Blending question

I'll be calling my insurance company when I get home and asking them to make the shop fix it. Surely they can be a mediator between us.

They have a meter that can measure the depth of your paint. Just ask your insurance company for info regarding a shop that has said device. They can tell instantly where the factory paint stops and where the repair begins. That should solve your issue with whether it was there or not.

Last time I used this tactic (fighting for factory paint defects), I was told my hood had been repainted even though it measured within factory spec. They refused to fix it so I filed an insurance claim to get all the shiz fixed. Sigh.

Called my insurance company today, they are reopening the claim and someone will be contacting me tomorrow.

I'm tired of getting shafted by companies refusing to perform work properly and then try to tell me I'm wrong.

I just realized that this picture may show that they knew about that potential chip before performing work and clearing. In that case, I should have been contacted correct?

It sure does look like it. What about the spot they marked near the side marker on the fender?

I want to say there was a hairline scratch there before I took it in, but I do need to go out and inspect that area as well. So they should have contacted me about this correct? Or by the looks of it, it seems they marked it up to have it completely redone but didn't.

It was marked up to be repaired. They repaired all the other spots marked in the picture correct? It seems they messed the clear up on this particular spot. I would see if there are any issues with all the other spots they marked as well. Last time I had a car at a dealer's body shop they ended up settling with me before taking it to court. You never want to have to go throug with it but sometimes show of force of how far you are willing to take it is necessary before they will budge. Hopefully your insurance can help with the situation and get it taken care of by them just fixing what they were supposed to have already done.
