Paint Chips

Post by myenvyvibe »

I have noticed that the paint chips really easy. I was washing my car the first week that I got it and noticed that I already have a rock chip on the hood. I was pissed. And now I hear that the envy is being discontinued. Hope that doesn't mean that they aren't going to make touch up paint for it. I bought the clear coat when I got my car but haven't taken it back to the dealership to get it put on yet. Hopefully that will help.

I have also noticed that the bodycolor door mouldings do not hold the paint very well. Just the slightest ding from a car peals the paint of the moulding. This moulding is statring to look like crap after only a few months.

I have chips on the door mouldings too - any remedy? Can't believe it. I had my prior car 10 years - no chips. Now after a month, I have several.
