What did you do with your Z today VI (ON TOPIC DISCUSSION ONLY)

I painted my G35s bumper a few months back. Sanded it all down, primed, painted, pearl coat, and clear coat. This was all done with rattle cans. It was a LOT of work. Many hours sanding/wet sanding. I'm not sure if this work for you will be a touch-up or full bumper paint job. Much info is on Youtube.

With the number of issues that you've mentioned, I believe I'd ask for the GM and raise serious hell about it. You have more issues in 2500 miles than I've had in 104,000.

Due to the metallic paint, it would be best to have the car there when painted to get the flake going the right direction. That, of course, depends on if they even pay attention to that.

This is all true.

In their defense, he did say that they could probably look at and or fix the other issues in a week or so, or even in a few days. It's only the body shop that's backed up with work for a month. So it's just the bumper that would be the delay.

Impressive! Where did you get the rattle cans? Will this type of work be as durable as a Pro job? My front bumper needs a repaint very badly.

2 possible answers:

1) He just knows at this point for the inevitability

2) Script to just flick someone off when gold is mentioned here now

I kinda do want to paint the mesh to match the wheels but finding that color would be hard as hell
