^Ok but just keep in mind that your bumper on your car had paint on it. Then they painted if for you. Now thre going to add a 3rd layer of paint. 3 is ok but you dont want any more than that.

I signed up for the autowatch thing where they take pictures of the various stages of the repair and it looks like they sanded it down?

All there going to do is sand the top lr of paint. They are not going to sand it all off.

Should I ask them to completely sand it off?! Or just let them do what they want as long as they repaint it, what harm would 3 layers of paint do?

From this angle it looks completely fine but somehow the other side looks different? How is that even possible?


Big Difference on the other side

Im so completely fed up with this body shop, i seriously never thought id regret going to a body shop the dealer told me to go to. I honestly dont know what to do from here since if i take it back all they are going to do is paint it again and that wont match most likely. Any help guys?

The right sides looks PERFECT.

The left side is off.

Which means, It's your LEFT Quarter panel. Not the bumper.

Maybe it's just the way the SUN is hitting it? Not sure. But the right side matches perfectly.

Try taking the the pics with no shades hitting the car like it is in the pics.

alright, i just went and took some pictures of the bumper in the shade and it seems fine? Maybe it was just the way the sun was hitting the car? Anyways if any of you paint experts could chime in it would be helpful!

The right side seems fine as before


The left side seems fine now too?
