I uploaded another folder of pictures, these are just the trunk, trunk lid and spoiler. It's the same issue there. The body of the car is missing paint, the spoiler is, the supports or whatever one would call them. The things that raise the spoiler above the trunk lid, same thing. If it was a case of the hinges inside the the engine compartment and trunk were not painted I could have given a crap less. I would just monitor those issues for any corrosion or rust or whatever and be done. All this other stuff - no, not even remotely acceptable. Funny thing is and I keep pointing it out to the people I've been talking to trying to find someone to help is - the areas that are messed up are 110% consistent from side to side. If the left side has a 10" area the right side does as well. If the trunk has places on the right there are the exact same areas on the left, same spot, etc. Just hoping the call with the service director at the second dealership goes well this afternoon and it's not some more BS. |

That's what we are wondering too. If this orange/goldish color we are see is the base layer or primer or something they dipped the car in before painting. And then the car did not receive a full paint job afterwards?

Scroll down to the pic where he's showing the shine. Is it just me or does that look like this problem?

That is what we assumed but did not know for sure. So if I understand this correctly and please correct me if I don't - this car requires an extra coat of paint or an extra step because of the metallic black paint vs just a white or black coat of paint? And I guess if that did not happen that would be why we are seeing orangish/goldish looking stripes/areas on different places? I mean first of all it looks like ass. Second we are concerned that if the paint was not fully applied over the entire car what happens in a few years due to the bad paint job? Ridiculous.
I updated the pictures, sent everything I have including an overview of the conversation with the dealership it was purchased at to the service advisor at the dealership I called yesterday. Not sure when he is having his meeting or whatever is going on with the area manager he spoke of. Again, just going off assumptions, if people like yourself and many others can see there is an issue I would assume by looking at the pictures these people could as well and want to set up a time to see the car in person. I'm just assuming of course. If none of that happens today the calls to GM start as we don't need an orange/goldish/metallic black camaro. https://drive.google.com/folderview?...3M&usp=sharing |

GM is taking the line that if they sale 500,00 units and save $200 per car on paint and only have to repaint X they save money. They need to fix this or move the build to a better plant. Last edited by 2SSRS@Gen5diy; 02-18-2016 at 11:11 AM. |

This is horrible, hope it all works out for you. Social media is your friend.

UPDATE ---
So we just received an email from the service advisor (not from the dealership of purchase of course) just a random dealer I contacted that is 20 min from where we live. " ********** I have received the pics and have shared them with my DSM from GM I be in contact once he tells which way to proceed. Thanks" Silly question but what is a DSM? Some type of district manager we assume? |

Amen to that!!! They are replacing mine. I took my car up there twice, the first time their body shop guy wasn't there because it was Saturday. As soon as he looked at it they told me they were going to replace it, that was before they ever contacted GM. My replacement is being built the week of the 29th. You can bet that car is going in their garage area and I'm going to be going over it with me LED work light before I take delivery. I was a little sceptical of this dealership when I bought the car. I mean I got a good deal, but felt kind of uncomfortable throughout the process. After seeing the way other dealers are treating their customers I'm glad I bought mine from them. They already know if the new car isn't perfect I'll be changing colors.

Did you check the paint on the hinges of your car when you bought it??? No who would... I know I checked my paint over pretty closely. I knew where all the bad scratches that they put in the paint were. Never saw these problems.
