Either it is a bad re-paint job or the sun has cooked it. Is the paint coming off showing bare metal, or a different color? If so, it is probably a bad re-paint job.
depends on the job you want and the painter doing the job and the paint to use
A full paint job using metallic paint ( glass removed , door handle removed , bump strips off etc ) will set you back around $3.000.00 aud
if you want a fast flash job for resale around $500.00 by a backyard painter.
get quotes from several paint shops and be specific in what you want done
In New York we have franchise paint shops that will do a reasonable paint job starting at 400.00, you can spend more as you decide on the type of paint you want on the car, the paint shop will give you a complete estimate and break down on this. Our shops are called Mako Paint.
you can go to a junkyard and find your car and get the door handles. this is a lot cheaper then the dealer, or maybe a auto parts store has replacement handles.
I hate to say, being 2008 and have that many miles, from my experienced working many years at many dealership, your fighting against a brick wall, you can threat them with all kind of law suit, all it will come down to is repaint and that is the best they will do. I hate to say that they going to make you run around in a circle by the time they have exhausted you, you will settle just for a paint job. Those machine from factory, I wish I can say its an excellent job it does but you going to get some defect. In you case if you take it a good paint shop and highly recommended, than you will get allot better paint job than a factory and you shouldn't even have a problems with it and the new paint job will probably outlast other parts compair factory paint on your car. good luck..and I hope that help some
Surface rust can be worse than it appears so then in that case, the bad spots will have to be cut out and new metal welded in its place. (Look at the rust from underside of the panel--moisture gets there and rusts from the inside out) Paint chips can be sanded down. As far as a quote, here in southeast Missouri ...it would be $1600-$1700 for a full body paint job.
I have actually fixed these trucks under warranty. The EPA is the root cause of this, and lack of testing the newer system, this problem is pretty much of the past as the newer vehicle have a better system on them to complie with EPA regs.
