Mosaic Black Paint Issue

abhinav · 05-18-2016, 08:19 PM

I guess yet another car with the paint issues. I got my mosaic black 2SS on 4/29 in Bellevue, WA. I see the discoloration only when there is good sunlight (which is pretty rare in the PNW :P) and hence has taken me this long to notice it. I need to contact my dealer and was wondering what the resolution is supposed to be in these cases. I just noticed the discoloration in the trunk and the trunk lid. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I wish there was an Amazon Prime for this!

I found more of these unpainted spots in the engine bay. :(

You either live with it or have them pay to have your favorite body shop repaint those spots. Only a really cool dealer would consider getting you a different car and there's no way I'd ever trust a dealer body shop to prep and paint better than factory. You try to push for a replacement car but I don't see it happening

But hasn't that happened like two or three times already? Lethalhammer was one of them I know for sure. Given I think his paint was worse.

when was your build & delivery date? just out of curiosity

I have heard Black Mosaic is a beautiful color but I have to say it certainly doesn't photograph well at all

It had but I think all theirs were much worse.

How does a car with this many paint defects even get through quality control? Weird.

Because the QC needs more QC.

I bought the car from a dealer out of their lot. I am not sure about the build date.

They set a precedence with other members. If I were you if make them eat the cost like they should and get you a new car. The longer you wait the harder it'll be.

Take a look at the sticker inside the drivers side door. It will list the build date.

I just took delivery of a mosaic black 2SS. The paint seems to be fine, build date was March.

OP,

Have a look at this thread. The person who posted it was involved in a buy back but I never did see the conclusion of his adventure.
