Are there any Fusion owners with paint problems? I've had mine for almost three months now, and while I've heard things smack the body I have no chips/scratches. I had Ziebart's acrylic paint protection put on the car when it was new, but I don't believe it would make that big of a difference.
We've had ours about 3 months also and drive a lot of dirt and gravel back roads. So far there is not a mark on the paint. Lousy paint is not just a problem on the Vibe, my 1999 GMC Sierra in Indigo Blue gets a scratch if you drag a piece of chinchilla fur across it!
It's good to hear you don't have a paint problem. I got to thinking about this because by virtue of where I live I get to see a lot of Pontiacs. Non-Fusion Vibes show the same scars that people here talk about. I believe all 04 Pontiacs except the GTO and Bonneville are available in Fusion, and every time I see one (Grand Prix, Grand Am, Sunfire) they look great. This all makes me wonder if it's the application or the paint itself that's causing the problem.
Good to hear tots. I don't expect to see the problems the other colors are having. I don't know if it's an 03/04 thing or a Fusion/non-Fusion thing, but time will tell.
