Or was that leftover from the damage that led to the repaint in the first place?

And to the OP -- if you put PPF on this car you probably already knew the paint was only 5/10 on these cars so you kinda knew this going in...? And that film looks tucked (or is that the respray line), so could the film installer have been pushing on the trim to make room for the tuck and caused the damage? Or was that the tape line pulling up the OEM paint? And did your film installer miss the damage or catch the damage but still put on film anyway that now has to be redone?

You have more to explain here if you're gonna rant.

Still it sucks and will be a PITA to fight with the dealership/PPF installer/repainter/whomever did what they did. Good luck.
I get what you're saying, I did the clear bra to protect the paint not because I thought Chevrolet did shitty paint jobs. Maybe the installer should of caught this? No one took a pry bar to the car lol they tucked the clear bra at the line but the bra shrank a bit and they were fixing it when they noticed it chipping. I cant blame the PPF installer because if the paint job would of been done correctly it wouldn't of chipped or came off.
