Body shop FAILURE!

So after all that, the center is actually painted? Bumpers don't come primered from the factory, they come in bare black plastic. So...either the shop blew smoke up your a$$

So...either the shop blew smoke up your a$$ and just fixed the original bumper by painting the center and made up a story

or it really was painted, in which case... I still don't see the point in ordering a new bumper.

Oh, and I hope you didn't pay your deductible.

No, actually the bumper does come primer. The shop sprayed it with no masking, all white. Because the center part was suppose to be black, the white paint needed to be removed or a new bumper ordered. And so t was ordered, the new bumper came, under the assumption that it was going to be black. (that was another thing that chapped my ***! These guys should have known the second time that the bumper was going to be grey) It came grey, the manager did some research and found the paint codes and schematics from Nissan for the center section....BLACK PAINT! They finally painted correctly...two months later!

It's just laziness, the shop did a great job but the attention to detail was just ****.
