New Dash Bezel - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got my new bezel in today and the black paint is cracking and flaking off. I realize I didn’t spend a lot for it but is this what I can expect if I return it for another?

Contact the seller and send it back for refund or replacement. Unacceptable!

**LockDoc** · 01-11-2013, 12:48 AM

Not prepped correctly before paint....

am assuming you bought it from an individual? If so, and it wasn't advertised as flaking etc - then might give a try to what z10 mentions. But seller is under no obligation to take it back, unfortunately. But if by "new" you mean from a vendor - then by all means, you should be able to return it for a refund or replacement, your choice.

I wouldn't accept it.unless like jocko said.But if new I would be on the phone with them.If I paid full price without a discount.

**rs74** · 01-11-2013, 01:10 AM

Wow! That is terrible. For sure send it back.

I should have mentioned bought from a vendor. I'm sure they will take it back but this is actually the very first part I have bought for these trucks and was wondering if this is common.

Sometimes yes and sometimes no.Who did you get it from.

PAWS 72 · 01-11-2013, 01:11 AM

Forgot to WELCOME to the board.

turbosix · 01-11-2013, 01:48 AM

Got it from Classic Parts. I'm sure they didn't know it was flawed.

Thanks, this is a great site.

No way, send it back. You could spray paint an old one yourself better than that.

Scott, ask that question in the paint and body board, they will jump right on it for you.

Was looking at buying mine from MANES. Anyone had any experience with theirs? I'd be quite upset if I got it and it looked like the one in the first post. They are a board vendor so I figure they should be decent or they wouldn't be allowed to sell their stuff here.

I've used Manes, and think they have excellent customer service.

This makes me sad to report, but Counterparts are the only one being produced right now. There was another company making them in the USA, but they could not compete with the Counterpart Taiwaneze knock offs so they were discontinued. WES

~Whitey~ · 01-15-2013, 06:59 PM

Went ahead and ordered mine from Manes.. will come back and post a pic of what I get. Classic Heartbeat.. I try to spread some parts buying around I'll get something from you all at some point.

Still need plenty!

71K20chevy · 01-15-2013, 05:11 PM

That's funny because I had the exact same problem and mine came from Classic Parts too! Must have been a bad batch..

71K20chevy · 02-22-2013, 12:49 PM

What was the outcome of this? I'm trying to talk my mom into calling them and I'm not really old enough to call them myself...

If you had read everything before asking & you'd have had your answer without asking. Post #22 has your answer.

Oops, I just kinda skimmed through it without paying great attention.

Sorry!
