Thumbs down Who is painting these trucks???

I finally got the rocker pluge to replace the masking tape "cop out" save a buck that D/C did under the 04 trucks. Of course, the dealer refused to install them and let me know that I was lucky to even get the rubber plugs. Anyway, when I rolled under my truck yesterday after giving it a good washing, my paint is SOOOOOOO light or not even there in so many places! It is only blue in the spots that are seen at first glance. I plan to take this over to the dealer on Friday, the only day that the service manager is there, and voice my opinion. Also, the "ONE COAT" paint on the rest of the truck is chipping off with every trip to the local store. At this rate, my truck will go from blue to white or worse yet, blue to rust in a matter of a year! Anyone else have this happen. I had soooo much damage within the first 500 miles that I bought the D/C mud flaps as my lower body panels look like they have been sand blasted just driving on the local streets! This just isn't right for what they are charging for these trucks! I think we should at least get 2 coats of paint for what we paid! Inside my stake pockets on the bed didnt even get any blue color added to them. Now, what is with that? I didnt see anywhere on my window sticker that I bought a two tone truck! anyone buying their truck, I might suggest that you go over the paint before you take delivery. Once you drive it off the lot, they couldnt care less.

Comments?
