can you do mea favor, when you get your warranty sheet that says they cover it, can you possibly email it or if you have a fax machine fax it to me? my dealer says they dont warranty any paint under the hood, and they would have to see it in writing that they cover it in the states...

 

The silver started flaking off of the "3800 series II" and the "Supercharged" on my engine cover. But this was a result of the dealership's powerwasher, when they decided to clean the engine after 3 years of sitting on the lot outside. They told me since it was a pre-existing condition when I bought the car, I would have to purchase a new one out of pocket.
I didn't bother asking how much. I figure since there's no special Dale Earnhardt Jr. markings on it, there's no hurry for it since it's a cosmetic feature that nobody will see. If I was to enter a show of some kind, I'd worry about it then.

I would be interested in knowing if anyone found an exact color match to either the silver or the orange. Getting an exact match in high temp engine paint would be great. But if it gets bad enough, I'd be willing to try going to a local auto paint wholesaler who supplies paints and dyes to collision repair shops.

 

Sorry it took so long... I'd be happy to send it to you! I'l have to remember sometime this weekend as I'm out of town right now. PM me your email address/fax number and maybe that'll spring a reminder for me.
