Ok i got the car back from the dealer. If you don't know the story, i had a nice f'in scratch put on the left side of my rear bumper by some asshole... probably a parking attendant.
Well they fixed the scratch... but it looks like they did a complete body job on it... and painted the whole left side of the bumper. Now of course me being the anal ass that I am... it seems as though the left side of the bumper is *slightly* darker than the right side and doesnt shine as much.
Well I guess there is no way of avoiding this. I don't know if its me.... but other parts of my car have lost that "smooth" feeling if i rub my finger agasint the paint. It seems like its more coarse now. I can't imagine they would have painted those spots as well... maybe it just needs some zaino.
I also heard you shouldnt zaino or wax over an area that was just painted. I would imagine this is true?
Well i have pics of the "before" shots with the scratch so u can all take a look at. Im heading over to my parents later on... so ill have access to the digital camera. Ill post the "after" shots as well... so u guys can decide if the work looks good. I did not get charged a dime for this work... dealer did it all free of charge, so i guess thats something else to take into consideration.
again... these are the BEFORE shots taken last week.... your thoughts on the situation?
