it will back from the refinishers on friday, and I get a loaner until then.

I have to say I'm impressed with their service so far. I was ready for a major battle today, but I showed up to them telling me all 4 will be painted so they match and here's the keys to your loaner. I wish it was always that easy.
Good luck my friend.
This is the exact same service I received from my dealer, I went in expecting a fight, the guy did mention rock chips, but after he took a close look at it he didn't put up any kind of an argument, they're paying for them to be refinished (the way it should be, you should not have to fit the bill for their crap rim paint job). I drop my car off tomorrow to get the rims refinished, they've arranged a loaner for me. The only thing they were worried about is 100% paint matching on the rims, but they're doing all 4 so if it's off by a bit it won't be a huge deal.

Don't let your dealer BS you, if they try to use salt or rock chips as an excuse I'd point out that the paint jobs on these rims should be good enough to stand up to normal wear and tear...if a rim can't standup to a few rocks hitting it, or a bit of salt...what damn good is it...we do have to drive these cars afterall. These cars have the Chevy SS name, Chevy should be standing behind these cars 100%.
