Like said b4 it depends on the dealership i went to two who said no b4 the third one said no problem. They ordered the panel that day called me two days later said it was in to come drop off the car. about three days later i picked it up.The service guy didn't even ask any questions just said they would take care of it. This was in 2006 the car is a 99. Big props to Trapp chev. in Houma!!!!

The problem is with the adhesive not the paint. When the panel is heated up, the bubbles will pop up and over time will start oozing.
