Hey Kate, Sorry for the pain you are going through. I can remember when my Dad was rebuiilding his hot rod, a car I drove when I was a young buck, (73 nova), he had it painted and the damn car never cured even after 30 days. He had to take it back and the little bugger had to be sanded to bare metal. I can remember what my Dad's face looked like after he had invested thousands upon thousands, thinking his bay was f'ed.. Luckily the shop made it right. It still looks phenomenal to this day. You'll be OK, no worries. BTW, do you still want to the measurements on the warn mount? I had never heard back and was wondering if you were buying from a vendor or were doing the whole bumper from scratch. Take care, ulb |

Re: SON OF A B*^#&!!!
Ok, let me tell you THIS
I worked in the body shop industry for more than ten years. I OWNED a successful body shop for five years. It's spelled ACRYLIC and if you had read my reply in one of the posts above you would have seen where I addressed this issue. It was probably improperly prepped. However, there could have been an issue of contamination between the base coat and clear coat inhibiting adhesion OR any number of reasons why it could have failed. If your little jab at Mike was intended as a poke in the ribs or some kind of teasing, it didn't read like that on this end. Your smart ass remark pissed me off. It was completely unwarranted and unnecessary. If you're trying to be helpful, say something constructive you can skip the jabs at other posters. Mike has ALWAYS been helpful when I ask questions (even when I had my *shudder* Liberty) and has done a great deal to help educate many people in this group. The information you gave is pretty much on target and those that may not know about paint will hopefully benefit from it. The reason I posted this was: 1st: To gripe about it. It's my rig. It's my right, I'll gripe if I want to. 2nd: to follow up with what the results were as far as the warranty repair and quality of service. Ok, so let's just play nice now. Kate ..

Re: SON OF A B*^#&!!!
Oh - did I not get back to you? I'm so sorry.. I wasn't trying to be rude or
ungrateful I thought I did. I've been up to my a$$ in alligators lately. Hubs says he is going to build me an ARB style bumper with an integrated mount - AND - recessed lights. Whooo hoo! I know just what I want and he's going to make it happen for me. So now, I'm stuck tapping my toe on the floor waiting impatiently LOL. I know it will be fine - the paint that is. When I brought my Jeep home I found that it had an issue with the paint on doors. Where the window frame is welded to the door on both sides the paint had cracked and there was a wee little bit of rust. I had them take care of it and they did a great job. I'm scheduled to take it in on Thursday for inspection and setting an appointment to have it fixed. I am SO lucky to have a great dealership to work with. Serra in Jackson TN I'll bet that your dad was sick, I would have been. I know the guys in the shop must have been too. What a mess to have to clean up. HAH... "Give 'er a lacquer thinner bath boys!"
