  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Montecito Blue paint fading on door handles & paint chipping from wheels

On my 2015 5.0 in Montecito Blue, the paint is fading on the tops of all 4 door handles. A body shop quoted me over $600 to repaint the handles as they said they had to take each door apart to properly repaint them.

Also, the paint is chipping off all 4 of my wheels. I'm guessing it would be $100-200 to refinish each of them as well.

Has anyone had either of these issues? I have the CarMax MaxCare warranty, but it doesn't cover cosmetic issues like this. Would I have any luck getting a Hyundai dealership to cover something like this even though the car is out of warranty there? The rest of the paint looks fine, it's just the tops of these door handles so it seems like some kind of defect to me.

Really don't want to pay over $1,000 to fix these since it's really not affecting anything other than aesthetics, but still it bugs me.
