Paint Issues... Anyone else??

[jayely14]

Anyone else have this issue?? Doesn't look too good.. The small chip make the paint look incredibly thin.
Sorry about making it a short, youtube always does that.. The end shows the paint issue better.

Pretty normal for cars not to be absolutely perfect out of the booth - dust nibs and inclusions are expected and are normally removed at the factory - although some will make past QC due to time constraints etc
I have a pretty decent sized dust nib on the driver's door which I'm not worried about.
The cloudiness on the bumper is likely from the solvent they used to remove the rubber adhesive protectant - a quick buff will correct it.
TLDR Don't Stress

I tried polishing it, no luck. It does appear it's from something that was removed. Looks like it damage the whole front end

The issue is the rocks hitting the finish breaking the paint structure time for ppf......what other issues did u have?lololololol.

Take it to a good paint correction place and get their thoughts. I’m sure they’ve seen this before.

How would rocks hit the finish when the car comes with protective film all over it from the factory? You’re clowning.

Paint correction will most likely fix this. Mine was swirled/scratched to hell and back but I had a stage 2 paint correction and ceramic applied and all is well.

The condition of the paint was really bad with only 11 miles on the car. It was literally every single panel had scratches, swirls, and other artifacts. It was nothing a paint correction wouldn't solve. Here are a couple of before and after videos:

Yeah, my detailer has told me that even brand new high end Porsches will come in with swirl marks and grime embedded in the finish. Some dealers are better than others at cleaning things up before delivery to the customer, but the vast majority of the time they just take the plastic protection off (though they won’t get all the adhesive off), give the car a bath and an amateur wax/polish job and that’s all ; The bare minimum to get the car sold.

That has been my experience as well with other manufacturers. BMW, Honda, Toyota, Tesla, Volvo, and others have had less than ideal paint at delivery. I will say PEC ATL did a great job prepping the Porsche I picked up earlier this year. Not sure what their prep entails but the paint looked very good. It made life easy for the detailer when it came to paint correction and ceramic coating. The CTR paint was the worst I've experienced on a new car by a large margin. Outside of the scratches, swirls, and other imperfections, the amount of fallout and iron on the car was shocking to see.

Kept working on it, it's coming out. These just have a lot of orange peel my god lol.

I can't say for boost blue but the championship white paint is one of the best paint jobs to have come out of japan I've ever seen - its euro level of flatness. The resistance to paint chipping on the other hand....

with the very small chip I got on the way home, I can tell it's very fragile/thin!

This is exactly why I have the car shipped to my detailer for ‘delivery’. All factory paint is in terrible shape on arrival, no matter the make. Additionally, I don’t let the dealer do PDI, except for BMW since I know the detailer there. All my cars get paint corrected right away. If it’s one of my leases then I don’t PPF, but the ones I think I’m keeping for a bit, I at least PPF the front end.

im not sure if this is what you have, but i know that ive had some leftovers from the "ppf" that comes from factory to protect it in transport- i used some tar x and wiped, washed, and all the film looking things came off. Mine was on the roof of the car from the dealership taking it off, not sure if it's the same but could give it a try
