Problem after Hood Repaint
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I get into my car and notice that circled in the photo attached. I show it to the shop owner. He says he didn’t do anything to the underside of the hood, making it seem as if it must’ve been there before. I’m adamant it wasn’t. He says to come back in a month, that he’s busy at this time and that nothing will happen in the interim, as the hood is aluminum. I don’t mind coming back, but WTF? Heat from the baking process caused paint on the underside of the hood to shed? Has this ever happened to anyone else? Anyone know what a proper solution might be? Shop owner stated he’d have someone take a BRUSH (yes, a BRUSH!?) and paint it!? G-d. The color in this area is matte black; not the color of the car. Please help. Thank you. |

Hey man, that's just polish residue left from the shop buffing it out.
Just wipe it with a wet cloth and it comes off. |

My parked car was hit and shop had to repaint. It took three tries because it would not blend or cure correctly. It did not flake at all. But it had strange lines. Good luck!

The first time BMW got me a new hood. The second car surprised me, I left it alone. The third card cemented my suspicions that the sag develops from heat (it looks like a minor dent done with your fist) The fourth car Shane on me. Sure enough it fully developed into a sag/dent during the first year. |

As far as my instant matter: Shop foreman mentioned I should reach out to corporate to see if there's any corrosion warranty on the car, so I called corporate and they had not heard of same. Any thoughts on this being covered by same? I feel like our cars should be covered by some sort of corrosion warranty. |
