Suggestions please - repaint bumper or touch up paint

I didn't mean too come across as a **** or *** hole. Ask Nissan if they have a preferred body shop. Don't accept your vehicle back unless it is done

I didn't mean too come across as a **** or *** hole. Ask Nissan if they have a preferred body shop. Don't accept your vehicle back unless it is done right, paint matches everything. If it's not don't accept I don't think that your issue will be on a Carfax report.

Thank you and no worries! This is good feedback, I honestly did not know what to do. Goes without saying, at first Nissan completely blew it off, said it was road wear and tear. After some debating, they agreed to pay for it and for the clear bra. At first they were gonna send me to some cheap place to have it done, but they relented and let me use a really good outfit, Kuni Collision Center, which is right across the street from the dealership too.

It will be a hassle if I get the bumper redone, I gotta wait for 30 days after that before I get the clear bra back on it, but that is the only way to get the car done right, and that chip on the paint is getting worse... for sure.

I like your take of not accepting the car back unless done right, and great to know that this will not be a Carfax flag!
