I know this issue is run into the ground, but I went through 5 weeks of not having my car for a body shop to repaint my rear bumper. It was not perfect in the end, but was a huge improvement and I was very happy with the color (WDP). Last year I backed into something and had a crease in the bumper, no big deal, body shop fixed it and it looked perfect. However, they clearcoated the whole bumper and the left side that meets the metal part of the car now looks neon white. I talked with the advisor shortly after and he admitted that the clearcoat probably altered the paint. It looks very bad in bright light.
I need opinions of WDP owners, would you:
A) let them repaint the neon white portion
B) ask them to repaint the whole thing (they have the paint code from the first time it was done right, they did it the first time)


Also, for you paint experts, if they sand the bumper down and use the exact paint code which matched the first time, will look like it did before??

Thanks!

 

WDP is hard to get the plastic bumper color to match metal surfaces.
You cant paint just an end and expect it to blend.
Read your invoice which contains the warranty on the repair work and paint.
Speak with the Owner-Manager of the shop and have them look at it.
Take it to another shop and ask what they would do

 

The bumper was repainted twice? I would have them sand it down a little to keep too much paint from being on the bumper, but not enough to get down to the plastic, just to some underlying WDP paint. Then have them spray that. The WDP will help the new paint blend in properly as the black bumper color will alter the color too.
