Body Shop / Paint Work
After delivery I had noticed a...well let's call it a paint booger. Basically an imperfection in the paint on my passenger side A panel (the panel where the scuttle resides). If I tried to get rid of it, it would look worse than it does already.
The district manager was at the dealership today and okay'd a repaint of the panel. So next week it goes into the dealership's body shop for the blem to be removed and the panel repainted. Plus since I have vinyl on that lower part that will have to be removed and then reinstalled...all at no cost to me.
Is there anything that I should watch out for or voice ahead of time. When it's all done, obviously I'd like it to be so that nobody could tell it was ever done. So things like over spray in the engine compartment, etc. would not be my preference.
How do I get the best out of this scenario?
