help !!!!!!!!!!!!
my rear bumper was scratched and repainted, and now it doesn't shine like the rest of the car does, very dull color. when i bought the car i also bought the clear coat protection, but the bodyshop said they put in clear coat as well and it's the best they can do AND they can't tell any differences.
i don't think i'll waste anymore time with the bodyshop cuz it clearly shows they are not gonna help. i brought it to the detailing shop that the dealer uses as their detailing shop, they told me to bring the car in tomorrow and they'll see if they can make it shine like the rest of the car does, but they also said "it might not work cuz the paint might be too thin."
now i'm all clueless and worried that this huge difference is always gonna be there, does anybody have any suggestions on what i should do?
car is an 02 coupe, satin silver metallic

im glad that happened to you and not me cause id be in there raising hell and they'd get it done right one way or another. I'd have them wet sand the bumper, add another coat or two of clear, then buff it out.

I would take it back and have em clean it up....and don't take it out until you inspect it 100% and it is correct.
An 02 is too new to have that kind of ish going on.

btw ....... so you guys think there isn't any kind of detailing that will make the bumper look close to the rest of the car? because thinking about that just makes me really worried since i don't believe the bodyshop will be nice enough to do anything for me. man it's killing me.

Maybe a buffing might make it shine, but it should shine already. My car hasn't been buffed since I got it painted but I get hella compliments about how glossy it is.
