Lemon Law for Defective Paint

Re: Lemon Law for Defective Paint

Just met with Andy.....good guy.. He doesnt think it as bad as I'm making to be and he can take care of it. There are fine scratches in the clear which I can see clearly but I guess not as horrible as I have made it out to be. . I probably am not a good cutomer for black...

FYI... I am not a sue happy person. Never sued anyone for anything before. I only took the steps I have because of the way Nissan ( dealer and corp ) have treated me. So one day I heard a commercial on the radio for this lemon lawyer so I called. They kept calling me back to pursue a case so I finally said wha the heck, it wont cost me a penny and maybe I'll get the paint corrected.
So again thx to all for recommending Andy. He's gonna hook me up one day in the near future...

Dave,

It was a pleasure to meet you today. You are not "crazy" you are just "car crazy" which most of us here are. I do think we can eliminate some if not all of the issues that you see. Like I said when you are finished with Nissan, I would definately like to help you take care of your vehicle. We will do it together and in the spirit of "each one, teach one" we will get it done.

My mother has to watch what she says around me!

Re: Lemon Law for Defective Paint

Just an update. I talked to David last night and I am going to take a look at his vehicle in the very near future. I will take my camera and if it is OK with him I will post some pictures so you can all see it. Unless David could post some here. Either way, I will try to help him out if I can.

Re: Lemon Law for Defective Paint

Sounds good. I'd like to see what kind of defects you have.

Re: Lemon Law for Defective Paint

Re: Lemon Law for Defective Paint

Thx Nick,
I wish you could see what I see everyday. I am not as anal as you might think but too look at what I see everyday is horrible. I dont have the knowledge but what I see in my paint , it cant be just regular swirls. It just seems way to excessive. I'm waiting for Andy to come check it out and I'll let you know what he says.

Re: Lemon Law for Defective Paint

Seems like an awful lot of trouble for just some swirls in the paint. Not trying to downplay the situation, just an outsiders point of view, but it's also not my vehicle and not my cash that I just spent buying it. If it was mine, I'd just toss it in the garage, and spend a few hours making it look all pretty again, and call it done. I guess I also take for granted how lucky I am to have built some knowledge of paint correction.

Sorry you're having to go through all of this David. I hope that you can get it corrected to you specs without anymore grief.

Re: Lemon Law for Defective Paint

Check vehicle with a paint gage, have a professional painter look at it to see if it has been repainted after it left factory
the factory bakes at temps above 200 deg f. No trim or thin plastic , just the shell.body shops bake at around 165 deg f.
Car haulers have body shops all along there routes to the dealerships to handle mishaps so the dealer has no knowledge of the repair lower bake temps = softer paint finishes and will chip and scratch easier.
Ports have very large body shops to handle import vehicle mishaps. Measuring film build will point out areas of correction to mfg paint.

THX. When the case was started, the atty,s office sent out a " paint expert " and he measured the thcikness with some sort of guage and he said it had not been repainted anywhere. His final report was very interesting to read. THX for the info.

DISO perfect! and at no extra charge. I've already been in touch with Andy thru PM so thanks to all. Before even speaking to him I am confident that he can hook me up due to all of your recomendations.

Good to hear. If it can be fixed, Andy will be able to fix it!

Re: Lemon Law for Defective Paint

Well, since this thread has already been all over the map, I won’t feel too bad about going off topic for a second.
I just have a question, Nick, how in the heck did ACP+ do that to that seat? Looks like a spill or something.

Still have no idea. It's a mystery
