Ordered a nearly loaded 2022 Rebel four weeks ago... Billet Silver Metallic over Black Two Tone... Dealer estimated 8-12 weeks to deliver...
Learned last week the truck is built and shipped, in my state as of the end of last week...
Inquired for the VIN to start discussion with insurance company... for giggles I put the VIN in the MOPAR dealer sticker lookup site... The sticker says MONOTONE PAINT!

So... called the sales guy... sales manager agrees mix-up on their end, not mine, build sheet I signed with sales guy clearly says Two-Tone...

Manager says they will make the truck two-tone... i.e. I guess sending to their paint/body shop to add the black to the bottom...

What are your thoughts? On one hand, I'm thinking ok... just add the paint... expense all theirs... BUT I wonder is it ok to spray over the original paint and clear coat? I'm concerned about future chipping, etc...

I'm in no-rush for the truck... I can wait... I'm a little bent about their attention to detail, and if I'm already paying out the ____ I want it "right"

What would you do?

You will regret it if you don’t get exactly what you want -JMO.

Another option is for long term change of mind is have them pay for it to be wrapped in gloss black where it would have been painted just in case you change your mind down the road. I can be indecisive . But if that doesn’t work just start a new build. It’s their problem

I would either have them order you another one that’s correct or discount it pretty well and just have it vinyl wrapped. The plus to that is the vinyl will act as protection from rock chips etc and is removable. I wouldn’t want them painting it myself in case they half *** the prep just to get it done with the truck sold and out the door.

If you have the patience to wait then I would re-order with the two-tone paint you want from factory. I personally would not trust a paint job after the fact.
If you don't feel like waiting then I would agree wrapping the bottom is the way to go, at the dealerships expense of course.
