Replying to: player98 (Jul 06, 2009 11:42 am) I had to wait about 3 weeks for the dpsm (district personnel service manager) to give approval - which he did and Honda paid about $ 700.00 to have it repainted. The only area that had the problem was the rear tail-lights, so they couldn't say it was from road rash or stone chips like they could if it was in the front of the car, hence partly why I think Honda paid for it. The car won't lose value from having it repainted due to this issue- but I'd try another dealer, and request that the service manager contact the dpsm to receive authorization from Honda to cover the repaint. What year / model accord do you have ?

Replying to: accordguy0325 (Jul 06, 2009 1:34 pm) Well i am not going to be charged for anything as they know i only had it for a month. well at least for the bumper i am not since the chipping is inside gap on the bumper part between the bumper and fender. so they did agree is was not normal wear. but the hood he said it was due to road debris and they could not do anything for that. i still called honda so that they could put the problem down as a complaint but they told me to go to the dealer. also accordguy0325 if they agree to pay for it should the dpsm still be contact?

Replying to: player98 (Jul 06, 2009 11:42 am) i have been reading other forums and on other hondas being repainted by the dealers shops and most say that their paint does not match. that is going to suck if my paint doesn't match as i only got the car a month ago. i been looking at my car all day at different angles and in different light conditions and i can assure you that right now the bumper paint perfectly matches the metal paint. any comments or suggestions

Replying to: player98 (Jul 06, 2009 8:10 pm) As for the paint matching, you couldn't tell mine was repainted what so ever, it matched perfectly and came out better than I expected. Question- is your coupe tafetta white ? |

Replying to: accordguy0325 (Jul 07, 2009 2:44 am) also i been talking to other people and everyone says that the value of the car will go down since the bumper will no longer have original factory paint. the manager said i would not but they always lie. no i dont know what to do

Replying to: player98 (Jul 07, 2009 11:36 am) On a good note, I don't think it will lessen the value of the car, unless it's a really bad paint job on the bumper. Ask around, and find the best painter you can.
