Hail damage - roof replacement question

Be as picky as you want/ need, you paid a lot of money for that truck make sure it's the way you want it.

 

Yeah, you aint buffin' that out. So sorry man.

 

Well after looking over my truck today, I'm actually quite impressed with the quality of the repair. The paint seems to match pretty well. I did notice about 3-4 dirt spots in the paint but thats about it. The newly painted pieces are just very slightly less orange-peely than the original parts but I don't mind at all. The interior looks pretty good. There is a little bit of movement in the headliner but it looks pretty solid and wont sag.

They still had 2-3 dents that needed to be PDR but I needed my truck early for a business trip. They told me to bring it back after my trip and they will finish the rest. I'll probably mention the dirt spots and see if they can sand those out too.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with the repairs. They even replaced my ebay grille with an OEM

 

What are they doing to repair the sides over the a/b/c pillars? Please don’t tell me bondo!

 

No idea actually. I would assume body filler though since paint was cracked on both sides. I cant imagine they would PDR then repaint it.

 

Wonder what that would run.

 

I wondered about that too, recall reading something about not being able to weld the Ultra High Strength Steel in the Pillars.

 

Gets pulled with a unispot then the bare metal gets skiffed with filler. They dont and shouldn't "fill" the dents with filler.

 

Aftermarket sunroofs are junk. We used to do them, then started subbing them out. Nothing but a hack job.

 

man, I need an OEM grille lol. My 90 dollar pro grille doesnt look great

 

agreed but I was wondering out loud more about using all oem parts.

 

This whole year has been nuts!

 

Damn man. Didn’t expect it to look remotely decent following the repair but I was wrong!
