Thin Car Paint (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

I bought my first new car about a month ago. I found out car manufacturers basicaly put only 1 or 2 coats of paint on cars these days, so that if you even look at the car wrong, it will scratch and you'll have to take it in for touch up.

So I'm gonna do that, but then also shell out for PPF on the doors, fenders, and hood. When I shouldn't have to, and never worried about on my older cars.

Your complaint shows a complete lack of respect for the manufacturer’s profit margins. They probably save a couple bucks per vehicle by ~~skimping on materials~~ optimizing paint dispersion.

? Bought a new recently seems pretty scratch-proof. Who gave you this info?

Might be certain manufacturers are worse offenders. I found out first hand. And then gained confirmation when calling a couple places for estimates for paint repair.

I have a 2022 OBW. Paint is not its strongest quality, that's for sure.

I have a 15 year old Subaru with the same problem. And even when we bought the car new it was a well known issue with Subaru. Welcome to being a Subaru owner.

Used to have a Hyundai. Paint was coming off as early as 50k. She was missing paint entirely in spots at 175k.

Was it a white Elantra? Ours did the same and when we researched it, we found out that there was a recall and that they would repaint it for free.

Except that the recall offer expired BEFORE we bought the car.

It was a Blue Veloster

Thin layers allow for bending without cracking the paint.

2 thin coats? Was the worker's name Duncan Rhodes? Make sure you apply Nuln Oil before you seal.

Have you considered wrapping the car?

It goes in next week for a full PPF wrap, sans roof. And then ceramic treatment on top.
