Sunset Yellow Kia Stinger Repaint Process

[sinrule]

What was everyone's wait once their car arrived at the dealership after being painted? I'm trying to get an idea of how difficult it is to get a field tech and kia representative to schedule a time to inspect the paint job.

It's been about 10 days since the car has been back to the dealership waiting an inspection and still no date of when that will happen.

Dude, I was having a similar issue. They do not have their act together with this process. I was expecting some hiccups along the way, but some of this is unacceptable.

I've went ahead and begin the repurchase prices. At least I'll get the car back in the meantime.

It doesn't take over two weeks to schedule a time for two people to meet and inspect the car.

Just took delivery of my car after over two months of waiting. The inspectors still had not looked at my car... Ive elected the repurchase option to move on...

They gave me nothing to sign. I signed no papers, they just gave me the keys, specifically because I started the repurchase process before I took the car. I learned from your experience :/.

Got my car back yesterday. Paint was better than the first attempt but still 4 shades of yellow. I am still going with a replacement car. Kia is working on a Hi Chroma Red with red interior, could take another month to get that worked out. Felt good to get back behind the wheel though after 2 months in a Sorento.

I didn't know they were still offering red on red in the US. Nice color combo.

I actually found 2, both GT AWDs. One is on Oregon and the other is on South Dakota.

Did you get something else? What's the process you had to go through?

I did not get anything else. I simply bought a beater Acura afterwards.

I initiated the buy back and provided all the documentation they asked. After that, took 7 weeks before I turned it in and they cut me a check same day.

Easy in, easy out.

I was wondering where you went, sorry we lost you as a Stinger owner. Hope you do come back one day.

Yeah, me too! Waiting for year 3 to roll around so all of these GT2s reach their residual values.
