Thanks
@Whoa_Ram for the response.
Okay, well maybe a lot of folks didn't get paint, heh
What I describe below is of course something of an illusion since the the paint and flaws are so thin. But as they reflect light (or an image/the reflection), whereas a perfect paint job would reflect without distortion, a lot of the reflected image is cast in other directions and then look like flaws or dents. Best example would be if you looked from the upper-side at a mirrored bowl, you'll only get part of the image reflected to you. Now make that thousands of bowls.
The most recent vehicle, the orangepeel is so bad it looks like the entire vehicle has been hit with a ballpeen hammer a million times. These aren't minor ripples, they're large and cover the entire vehicle. It's so obvious and prevalent, what doesn't look like dents leaves the illusion of countless drips or like the steel was wrinkled. Our dealer's bodyshop agreed it's the worst paint they've ever seen...even ameteur repaints. A different dealer bodyshop agreed. Naturally, this is the one vehicle at $70k we decided to keep, but now? We finally prodded a Chrysler rep (or whatever they're called this week) to look at it, and though he stayed calm in person, the relayed feedback was, his words, "It looks like ****."
What is burning us up, it they HAVE DOI/RIQ inspection equipment on the line. Plus, it had to pass numerous inspectors and hundreds of hands looking at the vehicle before it reached us, and no one stopped it.
Our previous Rams (2014, 2016, 2019), it was so minimal I couldn't see it, and we have compared the 2021 to the 2019 side-by-side. Frankly, I've owned original paint vehicles from the 1960s to now, and I've NEVER seen a worse paint job.
I'll save my rant regarding their lack of diverse colors (how many shades of gray are there? It's like what we thought were kewl colors in the 80's as yuppies), and now, if we dump this vehicle, besides a lack of exterior colors, they're telling us they're only offering black leather as an interior color like it's a Model-T (you can have it in any color you want...as long as it's black).
