Default Just Got A Fresh Paint Job BUT....

When they went to put the V8 signs and Ram 1500 signs they put them in the wrong spots. The V8 signs are near the turn signals like a dodge dakota has them. And the Ram 1500 signs one is close to the fender and one is farther back then the other. Problem is the truck was painted 2 days ago and the signs are held on by double sided tape any ways to get this off without damaging the paint? Other then that the truck looks brand new and it was done by Maaco i am impressed with it but they did get a lot of over spray under the hood but not too bad.

Yeah the guy told me not to really wash or wax for 30 days. Just to use regular car wash soap and something soft to clean it

I would have them move the badges. They did it wrong in the first place. If they damage the paint in the process, then it's on them to fix it.

Take it back and demand them to put it where it belongs. The paint might get damaged from removal, so check it.

And that is why you don't go to Maaco.. Didn't they remember where they took them off? Or mark on a drawing or something...? Wow.
Go back and demand they fix it. Take a picture of your truck before it was painted to show where they should be. How are the tailgate decals?

I agree, why fix someones else's incompetent mistake ?
I'd give em 2 choices - Fix it right now, or sooner.

I peeled them off then took a hair dryer to it to get the double sided tape stuff off it took a while but i was bored any way. I think the truck looks a hell of a lot better then it did
