Wow.. My paint is ****ed up. I'm here right now and they tried rolling the rears, the guy takes me out there to show me how the paint is chipping off. I didn't even see a heat gun in the area! It's not just chipping either. It's in sections about 2 inches long! What are you guys getting done there? And there's a white 8 here also.

They added 1 degree of camber to the rears and I don't rub anymore. The alignment is great.

Jeez. I was there today at 1 to get an alignment, and asked about fender rolling. Now that I know they have a history of screwing up paint work I guess Ill rent the roller and do it myself.
Did they mention having their insurance fixing your paint, or did they have you sign a waiver before the work started?

I tried to upload them to flickr to post them up but I don't see the link to do it from my phone. I have some pictures though.

I am afraid to f**k up the paint and I dont have time right now to go get the roller. With gunnery and my "over time" I can hardly get some sleep. Gunnery ends on the 10th of November, that is when everything goes back to normal.
