How could this possibly happen??

So I finally give my truck a claying and then some way and I find this shi! on my truck. How could this possibly be scratched? I know it was replaced in an accident a year ago.

 

***** happens dude, ive got a hand full of dings and scratches. Just keep the truck looking nice, and its less likely to happen again. I know im more careful around cars that are well cared for.

Damage to my radiator happens all the time, it won't always get sucked into the radiator fins and I'm sure thats what those are from. Man you are picky, you'd have to be claying the engine compartment to find that lol. How were you in an accident Joe?

 

haha no not my radiator, I dont give a shi about that. I was refering to the paint thats chiping.

.... ummm accident... driving too fast to an old gf's house while merging from one freeway to another and looked behind my shoulder to check traffic, looked back and said ohh **** and hit the crap car in front of me.

The chick was totally fine but I heard later on from my insurance that she sued and won, I hate people now-a-days.

 

The body shop didn't line up the bumper cover properly and it's rubbing on the bottom of the grill surround.

 

I agree with Tbird, check the bottom of your grille, I bet there is a mark to match that one.

 

I had a few around there on my Jeep from a service department, sucks but it happens, at least its kinda hidden.

 

Based on the location of the scuff.... I'd agree with the others... it's a rub.

 

Yep, that's a grill surround rub.

 

No way that's a rub Joe, thats from all the offroading you did at Pismo

j/k bud that is definitely from the bumper being installed incorrectly

 

That longer scratch definitely looks like it's being caused by a rubbing issue with the grille surround. Plus, it looks like you've got a bunch of little nicks on the exposed portion of the lower valance. Quite frankly, I have found that a re-applied finish is never as hard or as durable as the finish that came from the factory. Might be something you have to live with in the re-painted portions of your vehicle.

 

At least its not that visible when the hood is closed

 

Alrighty then I will have to talk to the shop and see if they will fix/repaint it. Its wierd how all of a sudden showed up.

But I was already going to take it in because around the splash guards the bumper had some paint pealing... Guess they didnt so such a good job.

Thanks guys!
