paint

Hey everyone. I couldn't find this thread anywhere...i was actually wondering if waxing your car often is actually beneficial or bad for the paint job? Since I own a black car...and live in CALI which gets dusty real quick...and don't even get me started on seagulls and bird poops......I tend...

Wondering if anyone else has experienced this... I noticed about a month ago that the paint along the top of the trim piece just below my trunk lid looks like it's peeling (see photo below). Is this something that warranty would cover? Cheers! Kirk

I just took delivery of a 2012 CPO R-Spec in Black. I can't get the grin off my face. I've purchased the wings for wheels, steering wheel and trunk on eBay, and will soon be installed. Tint job to come this week. It has two very small (1mm) paint chips on the hood. Any fix that isn't too...

I have a question to the detailing experts in this forum. I do handwash and wax my car every 2 months (Except during winter), I read some rave reviews about the optiguard (In this forum), could not find someone who would be able to apply it in a professional manner. (Live in Novi MICHIGAN...

I just finished my rebadge on my silver rspec and the oval where the flying H was seems to be a completely different color. I would think the outline of the H might be different due to it not seeing light ever but the entire oval is. Attached is a pic Has anyone else experienced this?

I recently returned from a 1200 mile trip to Northern California and finally got around to washing my car. To my disappointment, I have a number of small paint chips in the hood and one on the roof. In 9 years of Lexus ownership and 98000 miles, I never had any paint chips. Is the paint process...

OK new Equus 30 days old. Already has chipped paint off rocker panels on both sides. Body shop says the paint on the cheap plastic panels will continue to chip. Not what I was expecting. My 7 car, 16 years old, doesn't have a single paint chip on the panel. Anyone know a fix for this???

My detailer has put a thread together on autopia.org of my car before and after including steps and products used for the correction. LOOKS AMAZING!!! Here are a few preview pics Click the link for the thread...

i think admins have taken off the option to edit a thread because i couldn't find the "Edit" button anywhere so here are some updated pictures of my matte black paint job. original link with explanation of work and work in progress pics here: :D

finally had the time to link up with a friend that owns a shop to help turn my plain badged black 4.6 into something beautiful and one of a kind. I will be updating this thread after my detailing is done this Saturday morning with more pictures of the car from all angles. But for now i was so...

2012 black R-spec 3000+ miles my paint on the front bumper at the right hand side joint (as it bumps up to the wheel arch body panel) has started to flake off. The dealer is all over it and is is going to send it out to a body shop to deal with it (giving me a loaner too). Hopefully it will...

Currently black on black - Black Noir Pear I think I may have the opportunity for a custom paint session. I'm thinnking two-tone blk/silver blck/white pearl any thoughts?

Has anybody used this product (http://drcolorchip.com/) to repair paint chips?:confused: I have a a mark on the passengers rear door that I think will take a little more than a dab with the touchup paint pen. I don’t really care for the finished product using the touchup pen supplied by my...

I have been amazed at the quality of paint on the Genesis. In particular, the uniformity of application and lack of orange peel syndrome. It is superior to any other car in recent memory. :D

I have a 2009 black pearl finish Genesis, it was keyed in a parking lot. a body shop wants to paint a whole quarter panel for a 4 inch scrape (no body damage) $800. how do dealers treat trade ins, i'm sure they don't paint a whole car to take care of minor scatches. do I need a key word so...

I recently purchased a new Genesis R-Spec w/ Black Pearl paint. I took the car back to the dealer to have it re-badged and the windows tinted. I thought I would get the car back the same day but unexpectedly they ended up keeping it for two days. I picked it up from the dealer around dusk, drove...

Don't think the Genesis could pull this off... altho this Mini Cooper did.

I called the dealer to find if they stocked touch up paint (small pen-sized) and the rep said that Hyundai had a problem with the white color - drying out or something. He said I should contact a local auto paint supplier and have them mix some up for me. ! Anyone else encountered this? Can...

Has anyone had the Zurich Shield system applied by their dealer on their new Genesis? It is suppose the protect both the paint and the interior of the car and comes with a warranty. Thanks
