Painted Reflector Defect

I just received my painted alpine white reflectors for my M3 and there is a small paint chip or paint defect on the top of the reflectors. Anyone else get this or am i the unlucky one? its in the same spot on both like they were connected to something or each other. i will post pictures either tonight or tomorrow.

maybe it's the way they hang the reflectors in the paint booth for paint?

It actually looks like they were attached to each other by a small tab and then pulled apart after they were painted. sorry about the poor quality picture but i took it with my phone.

Hi Gary,

Thank you for taking the picture. Let me run this by our manufacturer to see if it's occurring on all of the reflectors or just these. I will get back to you as soon as I have an answer.

I had a problem with my JB painted reflectors - it looked like they wrapped and boxed them before the paint set up. They arrived with a subtle pattern and bad swirls. Promptly replaced after seeing pics, hope you get the same quick response.

"Work something out?" Yeah-they'll take care of you. Shouldn't have got past QC at the painter and at Jlevi, though. Pretty obvious defect.
