Car panel resprayed

nedge_32

I had my rear side panel filled after crease and dent and resprayed.

this was two weeks ago l have already noticed a scratch were it was
resprayed. My question is l got lifetime warranty on repair would warranty cover future scratches on repair. l have tried filling in scratch does this invalidate my warranty.

Nothing wrong with their work is there?

Just some idiot who scratched it. You won't be covered on the warranty.

its only very small scratch. To be honest the dent they filled in was directly below vauxhall crease line that runs across the side car. the crease line only slightly doesn't look straight in area that was repaired.

Its only small scratch its just fact paid 250 for respray and already scratched. not sure how scratch appeared just that spotted it.

is it a scratch or has the filler cracked?
ask the bodyshop to investigate their work for you

ask them, simples.

would you recommend l pick out paint l filled scratch in with if so what can l use. Just worried they will say l have caused scratch when they see its been attempted to be filled.

Unfortunately, it would have been better to take it back as soon as you noticed the scratch. But as already said I very much doubt any company would give a warranty that covered damage by others. The warranty will only cover the work they carried out. ie, paint cracking, repair failing etc
