I was wondering if it was possible to get it your car re-painted if it came from the Van Nueys factory and had evident signs that it was bad paint that causes the chipping. If so, how do I go about doing it? Does it have to be under warranty? I'm guessing so, but ya never know....any info would be helpful. I'll attach a pic so you can see my crappy paint from those punks.

 

My car came from Van Nueys . I also have that crappy defective paint . On my left rear quarter panel .My chips are big , but you cant see it unless you get up close to it .

 

Within a few years it would be covered under warranty but since its been at least a decade since ANY of our cars rolled off the assembly line..i think the statute of limitations has since expired,

 

Mine was made in Van Nuys. Looks like it was painted twice before I even got it. Its time to do it again too

 

I believe a while ago you could've had a case, but I agree w/ Nuclear, too long ago now

 

My Van Nuys car is of course a repaint too. I don't think they are gonna paint it for u now.

 

My car was painted in Van Nuys but, I guess I'm just lucky because there isn't anything wrong with my Maroon paint job. I bought it from the original owner and I have no Delamination going on. I also double checked the VIN code too make sure.

 

What happend , did they just have some crappy painters painting the cars there or what ? lol Yeah , i figured it was prabably too late to do anything about it .

 

Different paint process. Which wasn't good.

 

Actually if you read the FAQ or whatever they are at the side menu, it explains that due to strict California air pollution standards, they had to "water down" the paint a little bit. That's the way I interpreted it. Most of the later year 3rd gens came from Van Nuys.

 

*All* later 3rd gen Camaros came from Van Nuys. They closed Norwood after the 87 production year.

 

So my 88 convertible came from there?? ****, when I paint it i think i gonna bring it down the the metal......

 

Every car 88-92 is from there, 82-87 they were mixed between the 2 place.

"Actually if you read the FAQ or whatever they are at the side menu, it explains that due to strict California air pollution standards, they had to "water down" the paint a little bit."

I said different process. The other plant didn't have to meet those standards and gave great paint jobs in comparison.

 

Yes it has to be under warranty. My car was repainted in 1996 while still under factory warranty because the paint was coming off of the rear spoiler. I've still got the reciept for it

 

My dad had bad paint on his 88 burban. It came out of the plant in MICH. He took it to the local chevy place in like 98 and showed them and they got it repainted for him.

 

if it is chipping on the bumpers only, then chances are the painter did not use the flex addative in the paint.

 

I kinda figured that it was too late, but never hurts to ask. I think I might ask about it when I got to get my seatbelts replaced the 1st (under the recall). They didn't believe me that there was a recall, and I made them look it up, and sure enough, there it was, so they got me the parts and are doin it the 1st. Mabye I can get the paint done too, that would be f***ing awesome


Was he the origional owner of the burban or did he get a warranty on it or somethin when he bought it?

 

He was orginal owner on it and had no extra warrenty. He just brought it in and showed the guy and they took care of the rest.
