Paint problems with the 2005 GMC 2500HD
Has anyone out there had any problems with their paint job on a GMC or Chevy 2500HD D/A. We noticed that the paint wasn't applied properly. I found color differences in different parts of the truck. Some of it was on the external metal below the back window, on one side only. Most of it seems to occur in corner areas like where the tailgate is. The undercoating shows through. The wheel wells and firewall are signifinantly lighter also. We noticed this after we returned from Phoenix and had an oil change. The operator pointed out that there was hardly any paint on one side of the firewall. That is when I started looking the truck over and found many lighter areas on the truck. The local body shop that does GM warranty work says that he may not be able to paint this truck properly, due to the fact that he can't tell whether the truck has the proper amount of paint on it anywhere. He is afraid that if he spot paints the bad areas by factory specs, it may not match what is on the truck. He thinks I should demand a new truck, but I have already installed the Superglide hitch, Linex bed liner, and bug shield and window vent visors. Also has 4200 miles in the 2 weeks we have had it.
Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem.
