Whenever a corporation implys they are doing me a favor, I always get
the feeling they are trying to screw me. I think they are trying to save
their ass serious money by appearing to be so generous up front. I think
the key point is that if it peels anywhere else you are screwed. Spot
repairs on finish rarely come out perfect. And whatever caused those
spots to degrade on your truck is more than likely happening over the
entire paint job.
