Paint / Finish Issue
 
Has anyone seen this issue with their C7 regarding the finish / paint by their spoiler on the Z-51 package. At first I did not notice it, then when I was detailing it, it caught my eye. Actually there is a center section slightly flared up, with 2 small dots on either side, that were actually gray in color. Having had some CRM touch-up paint from my previous C6, I placed a small dab on each gray spot showing through, and while it helped hide it, it is still less than perfect. I have heard this has been an issue with some other C7's, and was wondering if anyone else had experienced this.
I have already sent these pics to my dealer to see what recourse we have.

Could you post a picture of this? I'm having a hard time picturing this and I'd like to know what to look for when I get my car.

Thanks.

I had the same exact marks on my VY. Dab of touch up....not detectable. Must be a systematic effect of eithe the rear cap install, or having watched the assembly, the buildup of the rear cap on a separate line. It is actually placed in a jig and the lights, brackets underneath, etc. are attached before it is brought the main assembly line replaced on the car.

Why is your paint cracked up against the centre light there? Paint is flaking off...
Are all the cars like that? That's some disturbing paint quality control..

Well, I contacted my dealer today, e-mailed him the pics, was surprised it got past QC as much time as it spent there. He will take care of it under warrantee. Yea, but it should have been right to begin with...

I just looked at one at my local dealership and noticed the same exact thing on the rear spoiler. It jumped right out at me!

This is where Museum Delivery will be an asset!

That paint pulling up at the edge is absolutely unacceptable. I'm very disappointed to be seeing this and having others report the same problems.

DocHolliday 10-04-2013 05:24 PM

Guys I just inspected mine with a fine tooth comb and lucky me, no sign of any paint defects, etc. in that area.

Did you notice the sticker in the pic?

George - Was your vehicle a Museum delivery?

Never going to happen.

A whole new car for poor paint on a spoiler?
:eek:

ATC399 10-04-2013 05:36 PM

The new car post was a joke...I think...lol

bigterpsfan 10-04-2013 05:48 PM

Yes a bit of a joke, but it looks like it is on the body not the spoiler, and what if paint doesn't match exactly? I wouldn't have taken delivery if I noticed it, and repainting would not be an option. I own a black Z so I guess I am very anal on paint care:)

You're probably seeing where the GATE allowed plastic to flow into the mold. All plastic parts have them and some can be seen depending on where they're placed. They didn't do a good job of sanding down the gate after snapping it off the runner in that location. Come on Chevy!!!

No it was not, vin# 201, picked up at my dealer last week

rob62 10-04-2013 06:39 PM

liken the spoiler-less idea more and more.

Nashville is slacking.

How would museum delivery help this?
