To Paint or not to paint

[Plowman]

If you painted the warranty block and the warranty clerk said that if the paint is charged to the repair order, the manufacturer would bounce or deny the whole repair. So if you painted the warranty block and it comes back because the customer complained then who pays for the next said paint job? GM Warranty, the block people, the paint people, or the person who painted it (the mechanic)--as the warranty clerk pointed his finger at me the mechanic!
