 Subject: Peeling bumper paint...HELP Please!!
IP: Logged
Message:
I know that this has come up before, but my bumper has developed a case of lepersy. The paint will peel with a fingernail. I had it repainted once under warranty, because the service manager told me that he had seen it before. Now I am in Cali and the A$$hole guy I talked to said that it was sand damage. The only comeback that I had was that my truck has never seen sand....EVER!!! I also said that if it was sand damage, why wouldn't the hood go to $hit and the lower valance as well...He still wouldn't budge....My truck is way to nice to have that crappy bumper...thought about replacing it or having it chromed..Any suggestions??

I had the same problem as your having. The dealer wouldn't replace it under warranty saying that it was rock chips! So I called Dodge and they notified the dealer to replace my bumper. Well, the new bumper just ended up peeling too so I finally just had the bumper repainted at a body shop and haven't had any problem since.

The answer to that problem is to take it to a none dealer body shop and have them sand blast it and paint it. There are many good high quality paint products that could be used. Ask the body shop.

I'm with you DakotaMan! Although I do my own work, my '98 black bumper has been repainted every spring as a result of the poor quality factory paint job. This year I blasted, primed, and painted, and it looks like I've finally nailed it.
I plan to paint it the flame red body color in the spring, so it only has to last till then.

All gen III Daks have that problem. The only way to fix it is to take it down to bare metal and have a pro (or pro tools and time) do it the right way.

I have had 2 replaced each a year old. My 3rd so far 2 years no problem. I'd go back to the dealer. If they replaced it once they should replace it again.
