My turn being bullied by sparepart dealer!! : (

[zac]

Guys...

I sprayed my car 3 months ago, replacing new bonnet as paint sifu said if it's already rusted then he can't guaranteed that it won't come out again... so i took in his advice, and change a after market wira hood for rm200, but one month ago, it's starter to have those pimple things came out, and recently it's spreading and got around 5~6 pimples on my hood, i bring my car back to pain sifu and he said he never face this kind of problem before...
The inner side hood was stuffed with good quality silicon and one layer of soundproof cotton sheet by paint sifu... So he examined it, the silicon that added earlier by him was not the culprit causing rust, it's the silicon/gum/substance that inside structure bone started to rust. He take me to the sparepart shop, the fellow said he take bulk order together with other sparepart shop so he don't who's the middleman and he also can't replace it, inspired by bro danz, i told them i will raise this issue to consumer tribunal court, he also tak gesa... FXXK!!! so i took this sparepart shop name card, and copied down the maker and distributor details from a sticker pasted on hood, and took photo of my hood.

Now i have few question:
1. I don't have receipt of car spray, cos it's old friend of my sister, and he actually willing to respray back just that the hood need to be replaced first.
2. Does hearing venue located kl?
3. Without receipt, is my chances going very low?
4. Any proper channel in jb i can seek for assistance?

make sure u sue the spare part shop, not the distributor/wholeseller tau...

 

[zac]

habis lah... the bonnet was taken by paint sifu from distributor, so i dun have any receipt at all... so now how? i should get the invoice of paint sifu receiving the bonnet?

 

[arturo]

wah Danz...can bukak consultation desk here liau

zac...no receipt means no proof of purchase...yr paint guy bought the bonnet without receipt? sure must have some sort of invoice wat.

 

[DanzEterna]

zac...oOOo so means the paint guy bought the bonnet for you from distributor.....
by right the paint guy should be responsible not u....

but anyways, u need to ask him for the reciept or invoice.
its very important, cos u need proof to declare the pricing.

arturo...
hehe no la...just helping forumers here......

if no choice ah....u got to tell the paint guy to redo your bonnet,
have to grind & fibre the part that has pimples, & a full respray....
becos without the reciept, u cant get a case.

 

[zac]

It's oem design but 2nd class manufacturer lah i guess...
Actually paint sifu willing to redo it, but he said even respray it will come out again, because the problem lies with bad quality of hood...
I found one original wira hood from my friend place, only rm100, cheap ma? original one should be able to tahan right? :hmmmm:

 

[DanzEterna]

did the paint sifu gosok the bonnet before spraying anot? from my point of view,
looks like he did not...just spray over with out sanding it evenly.....
no need to waste yr money to get another bonet, if not u rugi rm200 edi....

so for now, just grind off the pimples & sand the bonnet down properly till u get an even surface, after that spray primer & then only the top layer coating....
remember, after primer let it dry under the sun, do the same process after completing top layer coating.

 

[zac]

Actually he did brush the thing... cos i almost went there everyday to inspect my car... and now i can see that the rust were coming out from structure bone connecting part... it's not randomly grow pimples... just now we took out some part of my heat insulation cotton... and it's very obvious, the rust part are following the structure bone... sigh... if it's hood problem, even gosok also useless leh... cannot tahan also

 

[DanzEterna]

in that case bro....u better claim a another bonnet....
if not...report to tribunal...

 

[TitanRev]

zac, sorry to hear your case......

 

[arturo]

Zac...did yr paintjob guy check if the area under the bracers have paint coating or some sort of rust proofing? metal will only bubble up like that if moisture gets trapped...either from bad preparations or spraying during wet/high humidity weather...my paintjob guy delayed my paintjob 2 weeks cos he said humidity too high to do any painting...i think wira hood bracers are totally covered up from below rite? if during manufacturing already have moisture trapped inside then i think however u paint oso no use...since the rust is coming from within the bracer's hollow inside.

 

[lorddan]

i have the same problem. how to remove the rust under the bone frame of the hood? and on the frame it self. the topside of my hood is ok. only the underside has rust. also came out after the paintjob

 

[zac]

bro lord, need to get it changed then... no point to respray it when you chances of rust is high...
