Painted with the rear bumper fitted, and with the parking sensors in place
What a shame it's amazing that a job that was looking so promising will be spoilt for the sake of a little effort. The lower edge of the rear quarter panel will peel, as will the upper edge of the bumper, and around the parking sensors. Take a look at what cannot possibly be cleaned, never mind prepared for paint with the bumper fitted... I cannot understand why they've done this, give the care taken over the rest of the car Did you not speak to them about this Bob? Brian |

the risk of peeling is there Brian as its hard to key right up to the edge of each panel without removing the bumper but definitely a no go with leaving the parking sensors in as the paint will fuse between the sensor and bumper.
nit picking maybe but the finish in the pics look very good. looking good Bob

I would be tempted to ask them about it........how do they expect the new paint to adhere to fifteen years worth of accumulated polish and other crud? The answer to that rhetorical question is it won't. It is my experience that a painter, if he doesn't understand how a component is removed from a car is to simply carry out a P.O.S.H. paint job, after all it will look ok for a couple of months or so. I had to remove these very bits for the person who painted my car, as he didn't have a clue how the sensors fitted into the bumper, but at least the bumper was removed to be painted on a trestle in the way your front bumper has been done, and he had the sense to call me to ask the question. It's sad, but it really needs to be addressed properly Bob, because if left until remedial rectification becomes apparent, it will be quite difficult to match the paint on the rear quarter panel and bumper, and you will end up with an paint mismatch like you had with your front bumper. You may have faith in their workmanship, I certainly don't because it has not been prepared correctly. I'm not being critical of you, you are not a painter and you are only going by what they have told you, but make no mistake the nice finish won't last very long unless it's sorted out. Brian |
