paint

So I have a champagne gold 2011 4.6 and I love it -- however I've always wanted a white car so tell me why I should or shouldn't have mine painted in the OEM pearl white...

I am new to having a decent car that I want to baby. I just bought a used 2013 Gen Sedan loaded. It was in immaculate condition. When I initially inspected the car is had maybe a single ding in the roof but I do not recall any paint chips. A month later after hand washing the car myself I...

After a brutal winter of flying rocks and road salt, I conclude the paint on this car is pretty much crap. I spent the entire day yesterday and a few hours this morning detailing my ride in the garage. Clay bar, mirror polish and wax. Luckily I had a clear bra on the front end because it would...

Off the bat, ill say I don't know exactly what I'm asking, but hear me out. So I own a 2014 Hyundai Sonata, and lease a 2015 Hyundai Genesis. The Sonata has 24k miles on, took it on many trips, etc etc. The genesis has 2k miles on it. The genesis has a LOT more little dings and spots on it...

Has anybody else had issues with the paint durability on their Genni? I do a lot of highway driving. And have noticed my cars paint is really not holding up well. The rock chips themselves aren't the issue as that is expected. But it looks like the whole front of my car has been sandpapered...

As a retiree, my Genesis is used only for leisure & very little : 8900 miles in 3.4 years. Car is kept in my home garage in a very mild southern climate (Houston area). Regular maintenance is performed annually at the dealership. On the driver's side paint chipping can be seen covering an...

I don't know if it's just me guys and gals, but this winter has been harsh as hell on my Genny. Maybe it's just me --- since this was the first car I bought fairly new ( 2011 Genny purchased back in Oct 2014)--- but i'm noticing all kinds of scratches on my baby. The first time I noticed or...

Hi, I havent been on the forum much , but I have 2 problems and I guess this is my first therapy session. 2012 3.8 full package, tech , premium, everything as this was a demonstrator. 46k on the clock. white with a black roof. Yes White with a black roof. I took it in about 12 months ago to...

What's up everyone. I'm looking to vinyl bits and pieces of my Genny and I'm trying to figure out which color would match best with the factory paint. It's a toss up between gloss black and gloss black metallic.

I had my Gen 5.0 Ultimate Montecito Blue detailed yesterday. The finish had a bit of overspray but now is like glass. Anyone else have same experience?

I have a 2013 2.0t GC that is Platinum Metallic (paint code AU). I have had to touch up 5 spots on the hood that have chipped to the metal and started rusting in the last 8 months since I have had it. It's almost like bugs are knocking the paint off of it. The dealership says it looks like...

where can we find correct touch up paint? I just had front bumper panel replaced and now got two rock chips on the hood that I can see it them through windshield! talk about luck! I have searched eBay and Amazon but have not found any for 2015 model yet

Hi, last week I picked up a CPO 2011 4.6. It was overcast the day I purchased and I didn't notice some peeling paint/oxidation on the car as it is white. It is on trunk lid just under plate. It isnt too major but I'd like to get it fixed before it does become major. Was just wondering if the...

shortly after we bought this car, we noticed that it has a lot of swirl marks from someone going way too hard with a buffing wheel. we had it wetsanded courtesy of the dealer, but it doesnt look any different. i have used various polishes and still nothing. what can i do that doesnt involve...

Hello- I am new to this forum and have been lurking for the last couple weeks and have enjoyed reading all the posts etc. I bought a Caspian Black 2015 3.8 AWD Genesis with Signature & Tech package just about 3 weeks ago. The front bumper already has more bug and other indentations in 3 weeks...

I just washed my car and I dried it. After that I run my hands on the doors and it is smooth and then I run it on the roof of the car and it does not feel smooth as the doors do. Does anyone else here have this problem? I dont know if it is a flaw in the paint maybe when they put the clear...

Hey Genesis owners, My family just became the proud owner of a lightly used 2011 Hyundai Genesis V6 (base). As the nicest car we own, we were very excited to get the car. I noticed a few (admittedly, very minor) cosmetic issues on the rear of the vehicle. First, the paint/coating is chipping...

I have seen only one post that stated that the paint on the Genny was "hard" I am curious if this is in fact correct or no? I have a 2010 that is black and I am looking to get the cobb webs and swirls out of her but do not want to damage the finish in my zeal to correct it. Any info would be...

I purchased a new sedan in March 2013. On delivery I noticed one small chip which has now become a much larger chip bordered by smaller chips. The paint is chipping on the drivers door sill - at the bend where the door sill transitions to the kick panel. You can easily see the chipped surface...
