So I had my B-Pillar covers replaced not even two months ago because they were starting to crack. I was informed that they were replaced with "new and improved" B-Pillar covers that are less prone to all the problems everyone is experiencing.

Well what do know, two of them are f'ing up again! One is cracking, and the clear coat on the other one is starting to flake. New and improved my A$$, at least my original ones lasted two years before showing signs of trouble.

WTF!!!!

I'm gonna bite the bullet and get these painted by a bodyshop. Actually, I'm going to have them strip that f'ing bubbly tape as well and repaint those pieces.

Anybody have an idea of how much a body shop would charge to paint those pieces? I plan on doing the disassembly and reassembly myself, strictly painting is all I would need.

 

$50 maybe...not much.

 

My TL is going in for that repair next week. Who redid yours? Did the dealer send it to a professional body shop?

My car also needs the hood and trunk repainted - I've been fighting that one since 700 miles on the odo.
