nickxau, whilst I don't know your personal position, I would have kept pushing for a refund, the damage to your car sounded more extensive than the problems I am having with my cars paint. But if you were happy with the repair, as mentioned above keep an eye on the paint, also make sure you invest in quality products to wash/wax the car with, and take your time cleaning it.

To add, I received the same reply from HA on the phone, and was told that I would receive a return call in 48 hours, that was four days ago....

They couldn't tell me from who, give me any direct numbers, and when I asked for a reference I was advised that they don't give them out, when I asked why not, there was a pause of silence and no answer.

I can safely say that after this experience, this will be the first and last Honda I ever buy!

In reference to the last Paragraph, it doesn't matter if you buy a cheap Kia, a Mercedes or anything in between, paint repairs and or partial resprays are part of the New Car Business due to transport damage, industrial fallout, etc. You need to have a keen eye and thoroughly inspect a car prior to signing the purchace papers.

The only possible exception to the above is some expensive exotic cars that arrive at dealerships with a thick plastic material covering all painted surfaces. Than with the amount of markup they have in the car, they always have a professional detail done to the car prior to sale.
