When I was picking up my MDX from the dealership, I walked around the truck and pointed out any flaws or blemishes. I showed them some tape adhesive remnants on the front grill bezel (flat black below the front Acura logo). The detail fella came up to fix it and pulled out an unmarked bottle of cleaner. I should have smelled the problem from there... but I didn't. So now there's an off-white mark 2" x 3" where he stripped off part of the surface.
I took it back to the dealer Tuesday and was informed that they can't order just the black bezel part, that its part of the entire front bumper. So they want me to bring it into an auto paint place and have the grill painted.
Is this a factory painted part? I was under the impression that plastic parts like this aren't painted at all, that the paint is part of the piece. I don't want this painted if that's not how its supposed to be - and obviously it wouldn't look right over time. The service dept. assures me repeatedly that this is, in fact, a factory painted part... I would just like confirmation.
Thanks.
