Ok cool thanks guys i will keep you posted.

Black is supposed to be one of the toughest colors to paint I hear. If blended right you will not have an issue as others have said. My dad had an 07 Ram Brilliant Black get hailed out bad and they had to redo a lot of it but you could not even tell. Looked perfect.

Well I took my truck to the dealer and they took pictures and then sent me on my way. They are suppose to call me this week sometime to let me know how they will go about it.

 

[O.R.T.]

there is nothing wrong with "blending" a car panel if it is done right. its not rocket science. my passenger side box side is blended. and it was done correctly. like others have said. go to the dealer first to mitigate any backtracking issues.

Park your truck under a fluorescent street light at night and take a picture with the flash active and not active and tell me you don't see that the panel flop don't match when you view the pictures. Blending on a vehicle that isn't brand new is one thing, it keeps owners and insurance agencies happy. On a brand new truck, with defects in the paint, where a body shop is even recommending a full respray it's another.

I know in my state, I can take the truck to anyone since it's my choice, so long as I accept some responsibility for inspecting prior to taking it back into my possession.

Consider looking around and getting an estimate also from whoever does all the high-end paint in your town. Shop(s) that work on Mercedes, Lexus, BMX, Audi, etc are your friend here.

OP, best of luck on this.

I do know what you are talking about. And you cant see a thing. The white helps.

Ok guys well just giving my recent news. So far still waiting on chrysler after having to go back again due to there pictures not being any good. But here is what i have on my truck just under my tail light pic below. What do you guys think

How many panels have paint defects? My entire truck was repainted and every panel had a defect somewhere. BUT...........every panel dosent have to be messed up for the entire vehicle to be repainted though I forget what percentage it is. Not as much as I would have thought from what I remember.

And beleive me, I wasn't too happy about my new truck being repainted but now I have a lifetime warrenty on the paint thru the dealer bodyshop.

The process sucked as I had to do the picture thing 3 or 4 times but a regional rep finally came out and approved the re-spray as soon as he laid his eyes on my truck. Good luck!

I had a 2014 black express, about a week I bought it I noticed white speckles all over it. I took it to the dealer, they sent it to a detailer a few times but it didn't get rid of the specks. I took a lot of calls and back and forth but. Finally got them to take it to a body shop. The determined it was "fall out" whatever that is. They ended up wiping the truck down with cleaning solevent and then waxed it which got rid of the specs .

They need to find new detailers!

Ok well the dealership called they want me to bring my truck in monday im so scared lol. My plan is to totally detail my truck this weekend and take massive amount of pictures. And also going through my paint with a fine tooth comb to look for other defects. There going to repaint the bubble spots and for my fisheyes on my roof they are going to try and first buff them. But also they left bird dropping on top of truck while sitting in the lot and pretty sure paint it etched. Sorry to be a pain but give me all the proper steps to going into this so if the worst was to happen again im super OCD and PICKY. I will be looking at the final job inside the shop then outside the shop. Thanks for all of your guys input much appreciated.

Good plan. I also told them not to wash it because they seem to scratch the **** out of everything when the porters wash ANYTHING.

And with the pain being soft I wouldn't want to touch it for a while
