Chip with flaked paint around / bad paint job?
Hi,
I recently had a new hood put on my Obsidian Black C240. The paint job appeared to be done with highest standards but I recently got a chip in the hood (two months after the new hood was painted). This is the only chip in the hood. It is very small but you can see the metal at the center. What concerns me is that in the area surrounding the bare metal, the paint seems to have peeled of. Is this a sign of an improperly cured paint job? I'm supposed to have lifetime warranty on the work and would like to know whether I just had bad luck that I need to deal with, or whether I should demand that the body shop take care of it. Also, should I expect the same resistance to chips on a factory painted hood vs. a hood painted by a quality body shop? I would appreciate a knowledgeable opinion. Thanks |

A stone chip.
But the flaking paint could mean more than being hit a stone chip. If this was a re-painting job, it may have meant that the old paint wasn't stripped earlier before the undercoat was applied. If this was the case, you'd get paint peeling off, or worse, bubbles coming out from the surface.
