Hi all,
I have bought an ex demo (256mi on clock) vito lwb in white, which i purchased in early jan this year. i washed it last week (usually i have it washed) and noticed lots of tiny rusty particles in the paint, the whole van is littered, on body and in doorshuts etc. I have spoken and shown this to my local dealer who have organised their approved paintshop to come and inspect the paint.
Assuming that they want to re paint the van should i let them? Is there any grounds to return the vehicle and get another one? I am concerned that they wont be able to paint all the areas needed, and that these rust particles will cause issues later on. also with the best paintshop in the world the finish would not be as good as a correctly painted vehicle from the factory...
as the van is fully galvanised, would these rust particles effect the panel under the paint if left touching (i know this makes a few asumptions)
advise would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Alex
