Body shop painted my bumper wrong

lordg · 05-13-2006, 04:47 PM

Ok, a couple weeks ago, I got into an accident where someone hit my front bumper. So I took it to a body shop to get the bumper replaced. When I got my car back, I didn't notice it at first, but just yesterday I only started to notice my car looks kinda weird. Apparently they painted the inside of the grill silver, when it's suppose to be not painted at all.

Here take a look.

This is what the grill is suppose to look like...

My car looks kinda dumb now. Do you think the body shop will have it fixed when I bring back? What should I do?

they have to fix it for free since they messed it up. I would take it there ASAP! Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

I think it looks good, but they should fix it for free.

Good luck man, I hope they're not assholes about it. I know the repairs shops in my area are only out to make a quick buck and probably wouldn't do shit about it.
