I would give your entire car a good once over.....I wouldn't trust any dealership that painted anything on any part of a car. What a bunch of morons....sheesh....and i bitched at my dealer for trying to sneak on their license plate bracket....

Yeah I've gone over it with a fine tooth comb...It's good, the least they could have done was put put their insignia on a badge that is removable!! ...Idiots
