I wonder what it would look like instead of a beauty cover if you had a Hemi shaker on top and have it coming through the hood. It would be all show and no go but I think it would look cool.

Well today I got it back at 4 pm, from what I can tell the metal flake is a little more that the other paint and the buffed the hell out of clear clear coat and fine dust everywhere. they didn't even wash it. so my guess is they didn't get done from the week before other jobs since it was 4th of july weekend. When the sun comes up in the morning and shine on it I will be able to get a better look. the paint job warranty is good for a year then Chrysler's 100,000 takes over so hopefully good to go. I will post pics tomorrow. Now just need to get it lowered so mom can be happy

WELL, the service manager told me the paint shop owner said it would take 2 days to paint the panel. Chrysler said they would pay for 2 days for a rental, ok great I thought so on July 6 I took it in before 9 am and the dealership gave me a loaner. It is now July 9 at 11 pm so they have had the DJ 4 work days. I've called the paint shop about a half a dozen times in the last 2 days. And NO ONE will ever call me back to let me know how it going or when I can pick up my DJ. So now I'm getting nervous on WTH is going on. I'm thinking they messed it up so bad on trying to match it that they are painting the whole DJ. Any thought for anyone?

Ok, get to take DJ in on July 6 so I really hope these guys at the body shop can at least make it look better than it does now.

Well this morning I sent pics to the service manager again and he resubmitted the pics to Chrysler and the approved it to repaint the panel within like 10 minutes. Service manager was shocked that they responded that fast. funny I wait for over a month to hear something and they turned it down, this morning they approved it in 10 minutes. WTH???? Maybe they read this post? I just hope it looks right when they get through with it. well at least it puts a little faith in Chrysler for doing the right thing cause I really like my DJ. I just wish my mom who is 84 now had an easier time getting in and out of it.

Thanks everyone for your help and support in this as I have a hard time looking at it. you pay that kind of money for a suv/truck and you don't want it to look like a 5 year old painted it with watercolors. I hope it doesn't have to be cleared by the service manager as he and I don't get along. Don't want to give to much info but I had a 2014 Jeep Cherokee and it had so many problems. I had it in the shop 6 times for the same thing, grinding noise coming through the steering, A new steering assembly, 2 weeks with a rental car and I lost track of the hours waiting in their waiting room and looking at cars on the lot. The last time # 6 the service manager tries to convince me that its normal and all Cherokee's do it even after service manager, the salesman and the guy behind the service counter heard the grinding noise. and get this the dealer charged Chrysler over 2000 bucks trying to fix it....and this bonehead says it's normal??? I was so pissed off I called him a lair as HE HEARD IT, he then said "WE'RE DONE HERE" and called Chrysler and says it's fixed and signs off on it. Chrysler said to take it to another dealer and low and behold this dealer finds the problem first time. By now I was so mad at the jeep I didn't want it any more and Chrysler did help get me out of it with 5% off dealers true cost invoice which wasn't much. But the DJ is 10 times better that a Jeep Cherokee there is NO comparison. I will keep everyone posted.
