Western star 5700 paint wtf

I love dealers line of BS when it comes to warranty work. Like no other truck has a hood with a similar angle above the headlight? Riight. A good stainless fab shop like deiters or 12 gauge could make one up from scratch for you. Vinyl shops had this vinyl chrome before that would look ok there too l think. Tell those clowns you don't care about some mega with a 100 trucks you just want yours fixed lol

 

Dealer gets reimbursed by oem,for repair work.
I would contact corp for a repaint.

 

I second this, I would start with customer service and document everything from who you talked to all the way to detailed pictures. The paint they use doesn't wear like car paint and if it is peeling, then it is an indication of a poor prep job or defective paint/primer.

 

I had a 1998 Century, the paint on the skits would peel right off like a sheet of paper if you grabbed ahold of it. I have seen some Cascadia's do it on the painted front bumper.
I think it is the poor quality primer that they use to paint over plastic.
There is warranty for paint, but not for stone chips.

 

Star's seem to be notorious for paint peeling. Both of our 4900's are peeling paint from the roof. The neighbors have a bunch of 4900's and all of theirs have been repainted. Funny thing is none of these problems showed up while in warranty

 

The 5700 comes out of the Cleveland N.C. plant. About 2/3 all others come out of Rock Hill S.C.

 

2007 4900 constellation. Doors and bunk doors. Paint been coming off for years. Repainted twice at no cost. Now no more warranty and they still peeling I really doubt same primer was used all three times

 

Just curious Yves, did they strip it down to the metal? Or is it the original paint coming off and taking the new paint off with it? Kind of what happened tonthe chev pick ups in the mid 80,s and the ford pick up in the early 90's.
