Guarantees/Warranties

Absolutely! We guarantee our paint match. See our Paint Match Guarantee

With over 12 years of experience in painting car panels and auto body parts, we are always working with our customers and vendors to ensure we continue to perfect our craft. This means we have an internal research and development team that is always improving our paint match when we find a problem with any colors or years.

If you are still skeptical about ReveMoto's paint match, we offer the option of sending in a paint sample, which is simply a 6x6-inch cutout of the damaged part or your fuel/gas door. With a sample, we are able to custom-match your brand-new part to your paint sample. While sending in a paint sample is not necessary, if you prefer to send one in, you can follow this process:

1. Add the painted car part you need to your shopping cart2. During checkout, let us know you'll be sending in a sample by simply stating "Will be sending in paint sample" in the Comment box3. Complete your purchase & save your Order Confirmation Number4. Cut out a 6x6 inch piece of the damaged part, or remove your gas cap5. Send your sample to:ReveMoto (Attn: Paint Match Dpt)Order #: XXXX, Customer Name11515 Tanner RoadHouston, TX 770416. If you have a tracking number, email it tosales@revemoto.comwith the Subject line "Order #: XXXX, Customer Name - Paint Sample Tracking" and our team will be on the lookout for it!

We truly believe in providing the best quality painted auto body parts in the industry, so we do our best to get a high-quality paint finish & match.

There is ONE exception to our paint match guarantee: Your car cannot have been repainted before. This includes fixing your car from a prior accident where it might have been repainted. Most body shops will blend the paint on adjacent panels, which changes the original paint color.

None! We use the Lesonal paint system by AkzoNobel. Their paint is a high-quality paint and materials that allow us to spray a superior finish. We also have experienced painters and quality & control professionals who handle your part every step of the way. No paint chipping, spider webs, paint peeling, paint cracking, or bubbling/lifting up.

We stand by our quality and our commitment to our customers. If you have any issues with your painted part, please contact us at sales@revemoto.com or visit this link. File a claim here

(Our warranty does not cover rock chips or any external damage to your part. This only covers painting defects caused in the painting process.)

Paint Questions

Most body shops will say that a painted panel cannot be color-matched without the car present and, or, without blending the paint (see the above question). This is not entirely true.

Our paint line is formulated to match the mixture from the original formula the manufacturer painted the vehicle. What we do is choose the variant or create a special formula to mimic the color fading that the vehicle would experience depending on the age of the vehicle. This means we do NOT paint your perfectly good adjacent panels; we don’t charge extra for labor and we don’t keep your car for days or weeks.
Please see our reviews.

In all honesty, yes. However, this usually only occurs with white pearl paints and some problematic color codes. We have been painting for over 12 years and have resolved a lot of problematic colors with the help of our Direct Partnership with AkzoNobel and Vendors.

If you’re still concerned, we are more than happy to get a paint sample from you. We request a 6x6 inch panel or fuel door to custom match your order. We truly believe in providing the best quality painted auto body parts in the industry, so if the color is off, we'll work with you to ensure it matches.

We use the Lesonal paint system from AkzoNobel. AkzoNobel has been a leading paint manufacturer among other different industries for decades. We use their Lesonal paint line, which is their high-quality, solvent-based paint. Their system provides us with a wide variety of paint colors and color variants based on their extensive research and development. AkzoNobel’s high-quality paint and materials provide us with the necessary materials to achieve vibrant paint matches and long-lasting painted auto parts.

Yes! All our parts receive 2-3 passes of clear coat to achieve proper full coverage, referred to as OEM film thickness. The clear coat, or top coat, is what provides that glossy shine to your car and will protect the paint coat from harmful elements.

We use a high-quality clear coat that will last for years to come. This is so important for the longevity of your part to ensure the paint doesn't get dull or fade over time and start to affect the integrity of the paint beneath it.

Check out our article on clear coat.

Sometimes! We don't always get it perfectly clean out of the booth, and there may be some small amount of dirt that gets on the topcoat/clear coat. But, yes, we do buff out any dirt and debris from our painted parts to get you a beautifully painted panel and finish.

We have a highly trained paint correction team that will remove any dirt or excessive orange peel from your painted panel. We use the Rupes paint correction system that allows us to tackle any defects on our painted parts.

Yes, we offer a 1/2 ounce of custom mixed paint (base-coat) in glass touch-up bottles. You could also select from our bundles, which may include variations of sealer, base coat, and clear coat. They come with a high-quality bristle brush for easy and precise application. Visit our page: Automotive Touch-Up Paint collections. If you don’t see your specific color, give us a call or chat with one of our team members so we can assist you.

No, we do not accept auto parts that are not from our warehouse. We ensure that all our parts will fit your vehicle without any issues and that the quality is only the best. We cannot ensure that from other manufacturers.

Not all aftermarket parts are created equal. These parts travel a long distance and are susceptible to damage(s). Among aftermarket parts, there is a grade system based on its imperfections. We only use parts that are near perfect to minimal imperfections, A-B quality.

Third-party vendors will sell any type of bumper, from new to refurbished. The process of manufacturing the parts is important to the longevity of a car part. We get only the best parts.

Typically, we do not unless there is a clear break/body line for us to know where to change colors. You can submit a photo to sales@revemoto.com or call and we can confirm before you purchase.

The most common area to find your paint/color code is on the plaque located on your driver-side door jam. You will see your vehicle identification number (VIN) and above or below that you can find the paint code. If you cannot find it there, some manufacturers place the code under the hood, in the glove compartment, or in the trunk. See our article on How to find my car's paint code for your specific Make here. If you are at wit's end or don’t have the time to search, you can call any dealership that sells your specific model and ask their “parts” department for the code; just provide yourVIN.

Please email us your year/make/model and paint code to sales@revemoto.com, so we can do our research and add the missing color. You could also contact us on our landline, 281.561.5300 or fill out a parts request regarding the missing paint code

Thank you for catching it. We are always working on our listings and continue to upload new products and paint codes on a daily basis.

This is something we can check and fix for you. Please reach out to our team via chat, email, or give us a call at 281-561-5300 so we can have our team search, add, and send you a custom payment link while we have this code added.

Part Questions

We sell aftermarket auto body parts. It’s important to know the different types of aftermarket parts. There is OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts, CAPA (certified automotive parts association) parts and aftermarket parts. All parts must meet a rigorous factory inspection. OE stands for original equipment and is the original parts assembled by the manufacturer.

  • OEM parts are made by 3rd party companies in contract with the manufacturer to sell specifically through the dealerships (i.e. Mopar is owned by GMC)
  • CAPA parts are certified and inspected by an independent party (certified auto parts association) to meet specific quality and strength standards. CAPA parts are the standard when insurance companies adjust for vehicle collisions.
  • Aftermarket parts are often made by the same manufacturer as OEM and CAPA parts but do not hold the above titles. These parts are often indistinguishable from CAPA and OEM parts.

Unless otherwise stated, parts listed on our website are aftermarket. If the part is an OEM or CAPA-certified part, you will be able to select the option on the product page. However, if you do not see OEM or CAPA-certified as a product option, and do want those options, please fill out the form on our Parts Request page for a quote.

Keep in mind, that OEM or CAPA-certified auto body parts will be priced significantly higher than the current prices on our website. However, paint service costs will remain the same and free shipping is still included.

All parts come bare stock; which means they do not come with any accessories. The only exception is when it is clearly stated on the product page and you can add it in the drop-down options. We highly recommend reusing any accessories that are not damaged; grilles, fog lights, screws, clips etc. If you do need installation hardware, your local dealership, hardware, or auto parts stores will typically carry them.

Wheel opening or molding refers to a fender with holes that allow a fender flare to be installed. If you don't have fender flares on your vehicle then it would be without the wheel opening holes. If you're still unsure, you can send photos to sales@revemoto.com or call us at 281.561.5300 and our customer service team will assist you.

If you're unsure about the features your part contains, we always advise ordering using the OEM number of the part you require. By giving your local dealership your VIN over the phone, you can get this information. Once you've obtained the OEM number from the dealership, cross-reference it with what's shown on our part listings and proceed from there. You can always get in touch with our team and we'll be able to help you if the OEM number doesn't appear for any reason on our end.

Your car's VIN will help you know where you vehicle was built.

  • Cars assembled in the U.S. start with a 1, 4 or 5.
  • Cars assembled in Japan have VINs beginning with a J.
  • Canadian-assembled cars begin with a 2.
  • German-assembled cars begin with a W.
  • Korea is a K.
  • Mexico is a 3.

Unfortunately, it can only be obtained from your local dealership by giving them your cars' VIN.

It is a universal number that will guide us to replace the proper part for you in either aftermarket or OEM. It means that it is the exact same spare part you will find in brand-new cars from the manufacturer of the make.

The majority of the parts we offer are aftermarket, unless otherwise noted in the description. However, if you'd prefer to buy an OEM or CAPA Certified part, we can also offer you those options. Simply email (sales@revemoto.com) or chat with our team and they'll be happy to assist.

If your vehicle is equipped with parking sensors, you might see a warning light with a "P" and a triangle separated by waves. This symbol may also be accompanied by audible beeping or a bird's eye view of the vehicle.

Front and Rear Park Assist uses multiple ultrasonic sensors located on your front and rear bumpers. When you're driving at low speeds, the sensors may detect objects up to 8 feet behind your vehicle and up to 4 feet in front of your vehicle.

If your vehicle's side view mirror has the power folding functionality, blind spot detection, a 360-degree surround view, or a camera, you may need to recalibrate your mirrors. Usually, this will require taking your vehicle to your local car dealership or a shop with a calibration machine to recalibrate your car's system in order to ensure the features function properly with your new mirror. This calibration is required whether you purchase a replacement mirror from us or any other supplier. If unsure, check your vehicle's manual for more information.

After Care Questions

Only hand wash your car for the next 3 months after you receive your painted car part. The paint is still considered “soft” and will take some time to fully cure during the 3-month period. Automated car washes have giant spinning brushes that are too abrasive for “soft” paint. Therefore, we recommend only hand washing, buffing, and waxing your newly painted parts during this period.

Also upon receiving your part, do not be alarmed when you see white powder on it. This is normal. The baby powder is used to protect the paint during the transit and delivery from the bubble wrap. You can rinse the part to remove it.

Shipping Questions

We have FREE shipping in the continental USA. (Sorry Alaska, Hawaii, Canada & Puerto Rico!) Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico will have a $499 freight fee. Our Canadian neighbors will have a shipping and handling charge of $49.99 for small parts and $499 for parts larger than mirrors. You'll see the final charge during checkout

Canada shipments via freight are subject to Canadian duty (tax) paid by a Canadian citizen. We do not ship to any other countries currently.

We have a long list of orders we are constantly processing with two active state-of-the-art paint booths. Depending on the season, holiday and natural disasters that we've had to face in recent times, our time frames may change. Visit our Shipping & Returns page to get the most updated information on our shipping times, which you'll also see when checking out. 

Our large fenders, bumpers and hoods ship via freight. Mirrors and smaller parts ship via USPS, UPS or FedEx.

Expedited options may be available upon checkout, depending on demand. Additionally, if you're a local customer, parts could also be picked up by selecting the "local pickup" option during checkout to get your part faster.

Sometimes USPS doesn't scan the packages right away. We drop off our parts onto their loading dock, which is often inundated with all types of other parcels. Because they are usually shortstaffed and deal with thousands of packages, they often do not scan every parcel. Your package will likely be usually scanned once it arrives at a USPS sort facility.

If you don't receive a scan or update within 10 business days of receiving your tracking number, feel free to let us know so we can follow up on your package for you.

We do NOT fold our painted bumper covers during shipping. Folding a vehicle bumper will not only affect the durability of the bumper, but it can cause the paint to crack and, or, chip in the process. Yes, even if a flex additive is added to the paint mixture, it will negatively impact the paint.

If you’re wondering how one folds a bumper, our competitors fold the outside corners of the bumper cover into the middle and secure it with tape. Instead of your bumper being in a general curve or “C” shape, the ends are folded in touch with the center part. This method of shipping is not ideal as it may often cause damage to your bumper, or compromise the integrity of the paint.

If you need to change your shipping address after placing your order but before it has shipped, please contact our team immediately at sales@revemoto.com or 281-561-5300. If the new shipping address differs from your billing address, we may require additional verification documents before processing the change.

If your order has already left our facility, we may not be able to update the address. In rare cases where a change is still possible with the courier, a reshipping fee will apply. This fee must be paid before we can proceed with updating the address.

 

Incorrect Shipping Address

ReveMoto is not responsible for shipments sent to incorrect addresses provided by the customer. Please ensure that your shipping address is accurate at the time of order. We do not ship to P.O. boxes.

If a package is refused or returned to us due to an invalid or incorrect address, you will be required to pay a reshipping fee to have the item sent back out. The reshipping fee may vary depending on the product and shipment insurance.

If a shipment arrives with visible damage, you must refuse the delivery with the courier immediately. Do not accept the package. If you accept the damaged shipment and later attempt to return it, ReveMoto will not be responsible for covering any reshipping costs.

For any item returned for reasons other than damage, ReveMoto reserves the right to hold the product until the reshipping freight fee has been paid. Once the fee is received, we will arrange to reship the product to you.

Of course! Please do note we send regular email updates once you've placed your order and we'll be reaching out until you've received and inspected the part too.

We'll let you verify your painted parts of course, and then we'll wrap everything up for you so that it will be secured when you load and unload at your destination.

  • No Downtime: With ReveMoto, you won’t have to leave your car at a shop for days or weeks, which means you can avoid the hassle of being without your vehicle.
  • No Paint Blending: Unlike many body shops that use "paint blending"—a technique where surrounding panels are partially painted to make the new part blend seamlessly—we do not blend. This keeps your car’s original factory finish intact. Additionally, if you ever need to replace another part in the future, you can simply swap it out without needing to re-blend the paint. Blending is often where the high costs come in, so you save both time and money.

By purchasing online with ReveMoto, you get a hassle-free experience with the confidence of high-quality results, without the need to search for and vet a local paint shop.

Chances are, the backing plate isn't clipped properly into the swivel joint that allows you to position the mirrors to your driving position and therefore causes the vibrations.
