what would you do, if you suspect there is a part of your 2 months old car was being repainted before delivery? How to get the dealer buy it back? Thanks in advance for any useful information.

 

I doubt they will buy it back as they repaint alot of vehicles before they sell

 

Sadly its true, they often repaint cars that were damaged on the vessel and then sell as new.

I think it's standard industry practice.

 

Yup.

 

wouldn't that call a scam???

 

There have been several lawsuits filed against car dealers for selling vehicles that have been repainted without full disclosure to unsuspecting buyers. A well known case involved a Southern California buyer who purchased a BMW that was repainted because it sustained acid rain damage while being transported. You can do a lexis nexis search pertaining to these cases usually ending on the side of the buyers.

 

It is very easy to tell and prove if it was repainted. Most automotive paint stores/reps have what is called a Mil Guage which measures the thickness of the paint. If your around 10 mils then you have ben repainted as factory is 4.5-5.
Porsche had a problem with the factory plastic last year it was staining paint jobs mostly on silver and seal grey cras I know it effected a large portion of 03 996 and 996tt's here in So Cal

 

please shed lights, if I proved the fender has been repainted? What should I do? TIA
