Default FLAKING PAINT

so I have a BB MY07 that I bought back in march, and right after I picked it up during the first wash I noticed the paint under the front right headlight flaking off. Took it to Regal Honda in Lakeland and they said it was from a rock chip. Now I think that is BS.

what do you guys think? Should I try to take it to another Honda dealer? my warranty expires next month.


Another note my dash was separating close to the windshield and they ordered me a new one.

Thanks Mike

Getting a warranty paint job from Honda is a fricken pain.

Try another dealer, though I would not consider Palm Harbor Honda. I almost had to pull a gun to get my way.

Hey great news. I talked to the person in the body shop and then she talked to the regional honda person and they approved the new paint.
Turns out that the bumper was rubbing against the head light.
SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!
