  • 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.

My front bumper seems highly susceptible to road rash. I haven't done much highway driving in my genny. The little bit of highway driving I have done has been in clear weather on a clean road surface. I'm completely confused as to what is seeming eating the paint away on my front bumper.
The only thing I can think of is that the previous owner had the front bumper cheaply repainted and now it's just chipping off..
I can't imagine this is a hyundai quality control issue.
Anyone else come across paint issues like this?

Pictures to follow shortly
 
I think you have answered your own question. Cheap paint from a previous repair. My car has over 187,000 miles on it, mostly highway, in all kinds of road conditions and I do not have many paint chips in my front bumper. I do have some which mostly come from trucks throwing small rocks up on the Interstate.

Mine only has 30k on it, but put a thousand miles a month on it (a shame really). Whenever I've gotten chips from rocks, it only takes the paint from the impact area. There hasn't been a spreading effect like what you describe, and it's been a couple of months.
