Hey JTPhoto JK, Do you mind me asking how the hinge painting went? I'm in the same boat, my dealer is on board with helping me out. Did they just pait the hinges? Doors and hinges? How's the color match? You happy with the out come? I will need to address my sooner rathe then later. The fronts are worse then the back doors. (08 JKU) Thanks |

(08 JKU) Thanks I put the claim in, they called me a week later, said the hinges were in the paint booth drying and when could I bring the Jeep in. Brought it in 2 days later and only took them a couple hours. The problem was not the paint but with the hinge prep and material. The fix is replacement of the hinges. Paint match is perfect for the black and they did a real nice job. Can't even tell they were changed. |

All 8 hinges were getting pretty bad. I wanted to wait till they were bad enough that they couldn't dispute the claim on all the hinges.

My dealer says they MAY need to pait the entire door(s)...that had me worried on match. My Jeep is Rescue Green. Regards. |

Probably fluid film. ;). I work at 3 seperate dealerships wrenching and all used fluid film cause its the best with no dripping or mess andpenetrates better than lithium by far. Good stuff
BTW Found Fluid Film at Canadian Tire $14.99 a can. Didn"t want to spring for it in case thats not what the dealer used. |
