got my car back from the shop today and it was lookin sweet paint was new (in the front end) and i had new silverstars in there so i was pretty happy. i take it home and notice a SHIT load of dust ontop of my new hood so i take out my softest towel and get that shit off and i notice the towel made marks on the hood. they looks kinda like swirl marks but only went one direction. so im kinda worried now? will those buff out? cuz currently there is no wax on the hood and i cant wax it for like 40 days.

 

I'd take it STRAIGHT back to the shop and let them explain what's up with your paint, don't ask here

 

shop doesnt open till monday... =(

 

YIKES! take it back! i did the same when i went to get my rear bumper repainted, he just assumed i wanted him to paint around my safety check sticker (dumbass), so it looked all bumpy around the corners.

but you paid for it, so get your monies worth. good luck!

 

why the hell did i have to get my car back on a friday im gonna be sweating bullets this whole weekend

 

ohh yeah, and i just remembered its friday the 13th =/ sorries, i dont mean to make you feel worse.

 

 

the swirls dont look THAT bad.. i mean you can only see them when the sun is positioned at a certain angle.. but shit its new paint this is bs. did i mess up? is a towel sposed to do this to unwaxxed paint?

 

i dont think youre supposed to touch new paint in any way for a while

 

the shop told me i could do a light wash =\.. ill take it to them and get updates.. man this is the first time i wish it wasnt a friday...

 

What kinda towel did you use? Please tell me it was a microfiber, I'm guessing it wasn't since your brand new paint is swirled

 

it wasnt.. tho the shop never warned me of this. they even said i could do a medium wash. so you think its their fault?

 

jus take the car back.

they cant say shit to u, its part of the unwritten law of the good body shops.

unhappy customer = bad rep for shop.

dont worry, they'll wheel it out for you.

 

so odd thing happended.. i got off work today come out to my car and the swirls are like 5x less noticeable i had to really get down and look at em. i parked my car in 5 different places and it was all the same.. im still taking it to the shop to find out whats up. and to clarify between how long the paint had to dry before i wiped it was about 2 1/2 days

 

Whatever you do, dont let them know that you think you fucked it up. Make them think it was their fault. Cause if you admit blame, they probably wont do shit.

 

werd! just say that you noticed swirls. dont even say you touched it

 

shit happens, its just that after a car gets painted the paint stays fresh and doesn't fully cure for about 3weeks after..

just take it back, a nice polish will get rid of it
