Subject: Paint FRESKO BLUE - Paint deviation between Front-/ Rear Bumper and Body
Models: Engines: Option:
Astra-J 2011 All Paint FRESKO BLUE (Paint code GOL)
Complaint: Bumper paint does not match body.
Cause: Paint from Bumper not suffiecently matched to body paint.
Production: As of VIN: W0LPF8EC6 B 8 017483 an improved paint mixture has been implemented in production.

Remedy:

Prior to all start of work the paint deviation has to be presented 
for approval to the responsible Customer Care District Manager (CCDM).

The body paint colour shade needs to be checked with a "colour shade 
checking device" if possible.

Prior painting of the bumper example sheets need to be painted to 
identify the correct colour shade nuance.

After determination of the correct colour shade nuance the complete 
bumber can be painted, if required blend-in adjacend parts (bonnet, 
fender).
