So, over the past 2 weeks I`ve had my bumper repainted by one place and my hood by another place (long story, don`t ask). Bumper was painted first then hood.

Anyway, everything looks ok except their rotary work!

BUMPER: both corners where the bumper meets the hood and quarter panel are flat down to the plastic

HOOD: one corner of the quarter panel right next to the hood is flat down to the primer. The hood is swirled (normal I guess).

And, there is touch-up paint on my 1 week old brand new bumper---I asked the hood guy if they had touched it up and they said "no". I know the bumper did not have touch-up paint there before they started on the hood. Anyway, I`m not the kind of guy to call him a liar about a small spot. Looks like the rotary dug into the bumper is my guess, it`s about 1/2" from the hood edge.


Cliff notes -> :whine nton :boohoo :ticked

Good thing I`m not as anal about this car as some other people are......it does have 130k miles on it. That is all.
