2023 Trd off-road purchased in June why is paint missing on pinch weld?

After washing the truck I noticed like area under door was not cleaning well. Wiped the pinch weld and noticed it was missing some paint. Looks gray under the paint could it still be curing? Seems strange and looks like I will be heading to dealer.

 

Yikes what did you use bleach, just dont admit to the dealer that you tried cleaning it off

 

Oh snap! It’s white!

 

Op is taking about the bare primer that he wiped off lol i zoomed in

 

Ah.. good eye! I’ll redact my earlier comment for further review

 

That entire area on both sides feels tacky to the touch and the soap i used was Adam’s.

 

I believe that gray is the primer.

 

Don't touch until Fall, when the humidity is lower. Lol

 

P.s. I despise Summer

 

Isn't there a rubber spray on like coating of some sort sprayed down on that area? Like, that's what creates the texture right? I thought it was just supposed to help protect the paint down there.

 

You purchased from dealer right? They work with a paint shop. Have them fix it. It’s their problem. Enjoy your free rental for the few days they will need

 

Who installed those sliders did they ding your paint and touch it up without telling you?

 

I installed with help and sliders never touched the sides. Also on passenger side have a similar spot.

 

Yes purchased at dealer.

 

Like others have said. Contact the dealer and ask them politely make it right. I had a similar issue when I went to pick up my new wrangler in 2019. Ice fell on the cowl damaged the paint. Finished my paperwork paid for the jeep. They gave a loaner for a week, came back perfect with a new panel and paint matched.

 

Good, go to the dealer they will fix it. Just go in nicely

 

I would remove the sliders prior to rolling into the dealership. They will end up blaming it on the sliders. Seems like dealerships always try to weasel their way out of warranty work.

 

Maybe your shoes are wearing the paint?

 

Be careful OP... one time I had a dealer "fix" a scratch on a new car. They made it worse! Removed the paint by over buffing it, then had some guy come by and repaint the spot. It looked worse years later, as the guy didn't prep the area or clear coat it. Plus they gave me a junk KIA from their used car lot for the day.

 

That's gonna be and expensive blend.
