Science Abuse Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Has anyone heard anything about New fiat paint sucking? My neighbor is pulling her hair out over her new Fiat, in fancy Mocha color. In the month she has owned it, it has picked up twice as many road chips as her previous 300E did in its 2 years of service on the same commute. I'm looking at this these chips, they're down to the plastic. Looking under the edges and the bits that were masked to stay black.... it doesn't look like this thing was primed. The base color of the plastic bumper cover is black, the innards of the chips are black, the thin paint on the underside of the radii shows through to black, and I'm not seeing layering. It looks as though this paint comes away from it's base very easy... and the dealerships solution is to sand them down and spot paint them? And they fought and fought her to get to that point.

AudiOn19s Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 It's probably going to look worse after they "fix" it. ...sounds like clear bra is the long term solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye1647545503 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Tell her not to worry it will not matter once she gets drove over by a big truck that can't see her go cart with plates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
