The dealer dented my truck

[NC-V]

Thanks for these insights

Good to know on the sealants. The matte finish on all the inside jams baffle me. It’s very noticeable. It’s a powdery feel full coverage coating liken to rattle can paint jobs. You’re saying this is because they only taped off rubber and atomized spray just colllected inside the doors? Wouldn’t the right way be to remove the doors and literally used the thimble sized extra bit of paint and just done the inside too? A seamless job?

Speaking of which ive now noticed the entire vehicle has a powder like film roughness to it. Ive felt dirty cars before that needed clay. This feels like someone spray painted next to the truck and the rattle can cloud settled all over it. Is this typical? Would this happen it was in the booth still and coverings were removed too soon?

The compound is good to know. But it’s not coming off with picks of a fingernail. Meaning it’s hard. If i scrub it that no doubt if comes loose it’s leaving a scraping trail?

Right now it feels like a half ass job for half the cost

Typically on a repair like that you wouldn't do the door jamb, but it would get masked inside the door jamb so only the first little inverted edge you show in your pic gets painted through the door gap, then the door would get shut on the masking paper and mask the outside of the door. You don't want any more re-painted areas than you absolutely have to have, especially on a repair like this that shouldn't have happened in the first place, you just need them done right. If it is a rough matte finish in the jamb it is probably all overspray.

You wouldn't unmask the vehicle until the paint is dried or baked so it is more likely that is either primer overspray from the repairs (not properly masking the vehicle while priming) or overspray from painting something else near the truck.

If it is compound it should come off with a good wash or atleast soften back up and come off easier.

It looks and sounds like you should be having a discussion with them.
