Kicks the tumbleweeds out of the way. "Anybody home?"
V3, 600 miles. Once it gets good and ripping hot, the paint on the heat extractor grille becomes a bit gooey. I suppose either due to expansion, airflow, gravitational pull of the moon, or all three, the paint starts to bubble and then peel up. Hardens again once cool and a few cycles seems to flake a chunk of paint off.
This is not the CF grille but the standard piece on a black raven car. Caddy dealer is going to order me another under warranty but I can't see how the replacement would be better if they aren't using a heat-resistant paint.
Looking to see if any of you guys are experiencing the same?
Dealer reneged. Well actually at first when I called a week later they said it was in backorder. Then a couple more weeks later when I broke a sway bar end link and they were looking at that, they told me they never ordered it. When I asked "why?" they informed me because I would have to buy the part and pay them to paint it. I'll be having a chat this week with the service manager.
