I just got my plane back from servise center. On preflight I found a new bad chip they gave me in the paint. Pretty deep just in front of the wing leading edge . I am positive it was not there Before they got it… I was wondering how would you folks approach this with them. I showed the line guy I paid on Saterday. I will talk to owner of company on Monday. I have had scraches before but never this severe they tried to do a touch up looks real bad about 3/8 of an inch across . Or am I to fussy. I like my planes really nice. And I clean after every flight. Thats were I go under to cleand eacn time. So I know it was not there before Thanks from Don

Don,

I have had a lesser case of the same problem with my shop. They immediately said, “No problem, we’ll take care of it on your next visit” - and they did. There was absolutely no debate or argument.

Mike.
