Description

Basic Guide - Written for the Consumer - Assists consumer in dealing with auto dealer and automaker. The book summarizes the auto industry's recent business practices of assigning process and quality responsibility to the paint supplier. The finishes of vehicles used for quality control purposes of approximately nine million vehicles were analyzed. Our research concludes that thin paint coatings are the major cause of peeling, blistering and chipping, not bird droppings, stone chips or environmental issues. The Basic Guide teaches the consumer the criteria used by the auto industry for determining if a vehicle has met factory paint specifications. It provides instructions for requesting specific details from the auto dealer. This criteria assesses if paint failure (paint peeling, chipping, rusting) resulted from a defective factory paint job. Ideal for any consumer wanting facts versus subjective opinion in determining why paint issues are occurring.

Love this Book ... answered all my question Must Read
Format: Paperback
I have a 2001 Ford F-150 SuperCrew. I have experienced Ford's failure first hand. Roof paint cracking and peeling. I called Ford corporate and two dealerships and was told it was out of warranty (first noticed it in 2006 but since it was on the roof it wasn't a spot where I'd normally look). If you want to get to the bottom of the issue, Steven Gaiski, the technical director for Zestar Corporation wrote a book entitle "Making it Right" Why your Car Payments are lasting longer than your Factory Paint Job. This book explains the entire issue related to incorrect paint thickness in the coatings. It is an eye opener that takes the roof off the entire auto industry. Extremely well-documented and an easy read. I will never, never, ever buy another Ford vehicle after experiencing their absolutely terrible customer service on this issue. I am shopping for a new car right now and more than anything else I wish for a truth in paint disclosure; we should all press for this as consumers. Read "Making it Right" and when you're done pass it on to body shop near you, it will help our country and the industry improve. ... show more
