Got a before photo in my wannabe "Build" thread as well as the official GM thread.

yah, if they tell you pickup the car in 3 days then it's a real paint job. (good)

if they tell you to wait for 2hrs then it's a touchup job. (bad)

What would be awesome is if they repainted the whole car instead of trying to blend it.

but it's just the hatch and roof right? chances are they will get it close enough. it's when you paint one of the side panels of the car it looks very noticable.

Skeeterbop · 11-14-2011, 04:45 PM

I'm only having the hatch done, The only way to see it on the roof is if you get about 2" from it and look at an almost parallel angle to the roof. The hatch is pretty obvious though.

did they say wat may have caused it? could it have been the adhesive from the white protective film they place on the cars priot to shipment?

Skeeterbop · 11-14-2011, 05:09 PM

They aren't sure, but other people have had the problem as well, some are worse than others though. From what i've read, it's called fallout and happens during the painting process. Although, that thing about the protective film sounds plausible too.

Took the car out to run some errands since it was a little over 70ºF. Nice day today since it has been cold, plus I had the day off.

I sold my front lip...and I got to kick my front bumper pretty hard.

Some freeway garbage got stuck in my grill on my way home from work. Saw my oil temp steadily climb up to 240 and decided to pull over.. that's it.

Not yet -- any day now... This kind of thing makes me feel old. Used to be I jumped right on stuff like this. Now that my sons have become as skilled as they are (and they seem to always have some kind of debt to work off), I have become less willing to turn wrenches. I still do it, just not as often.

I think this weekend looks promising. The front spacers are my last planned mod and I don't know what to do with myself.
