    Doesn't look to bad but I got beef with the shop your using.

    If they are patching/bondoing rock chips etc.. on the hood, they should be sanding the old paint down to metal, reprimer, fille and even then repaint. Not be putting bondo over previous paint etc... its not going to look as good when it is out.

    well ... I asked them to sand it down to the metal .. but they said that they will sand the old paint and use it as a primer.

    P.S.: ... did u see 2 pics ? I'm afrade I might have trouble with my webserver. I'm hosting my owne pics now. That Goes to anyone who cant see the pics.

    There was 2 pics when if rist read it, one now.

    You can't use OLD paint as primer. Primer absorbs, paint doesn't

    Agreed...........I concure , older paints are sponges. Delamination and issues can occur with the respray.
    I'd inquire about having them ATLEAST spray an epoxy sealer over that lame attempt.
    Better catch them now rather than dealing with warranty hassles.
