johnebgood - Thanks for the info.
Yes, the body shop offered to put the car into the oven, but I was unsure if that would hurt anything. They wanted to put it in at 135 degrees. Is that too low. Also, I watched them do the heat gun method and they definitely held the gun on there a long time. The panel was very hot. I am kind of concerned about the effects of using the heat gun so much. They did it about 5 or 6 times and they got it really hot. What do you think? If they got it too hot, would the damage be apparent right away? Would the clearcoat yellow if it got too hot.
I guess I am concerned because I was at another dealer over the weekend that had a body shop that has done the heat gun trick a lot on Nissans since they had trouble a few years ago with their paint. They tried a few spots on the Spice Red I was considering but one of the spots just wouldn't come completely out. That is why I am thinking that this paint might show it more?
I really appreciate your advice. I am going back to the dealer tomorrow because they are going to put the car outside and do the heat gun trick so they can get a good look at the problem areas. So I have 3 questions for you:
1) If they do get the area looking good, should I be concerned that they put a heat gun on that area about 7 or 8 times?
2) If they don't get it out, should I suggest baking it in the booth, and if so, at 135 or 165?
3) If they don't get it out and my emotions take over and I still want to buy it even with the splotches, will those eventually peel down the road?
Thanks for any advice. I am really lost on what to do right now!!
