If you look at the pictures, you can see the white that is comming through. WTF is that? Is the paint comming off? The car was detailed after having the emblems put back on. Did the body shop polish the hell out of the car!? Or is the paint just crap? Here are the pictures:

 

I have missing paint there too.

 

My PY does the same around the gas cap.

 

the pictures you have up there look like they buffed the hell out of the paint with a hi speed orbiter and didnt pay attention to the corners, thus, removing the already thin honda paint.

Is that metal I spy?

Yeah, I bet that is what they did. Looks like they buffed it down to the primer.

It's a great shop, so I have faith they will take care of things to make them right (hopefully...).

 

Did they wet sand it? If so they may have gone a bit too heavy on those areas.

 

thats why i dont trust (most) shops to do anything to my cars. i say most shops because i'm in training at our HS's shop so i trust us

 

Looks to me like whoever you took it to, used a buffer a bit carelessly

 

I was talking with Onyx the other night as well about the PY paint that I've seen on local R's... it seems to "buff off" when drying after a wash. The towels actually get a yellow sheen to them.
Does anyone else notice this as well with the PY? I thought at first that this was what was happening to his car.

 

here ya go chris :tissue:

I know exactly what you are talking about. If you rub an area with a little elbow grease you almost start taking the paint off.

 

i honestly wouldn't worry about it too much. i figure that if the paint gets that bad, at around 75k it can be resprayed.

 

wow that sucks, looks like it was over buffed

 

ya looks like it was burned with a buffer.

Yager-

What does it cost to get a car resprayed? Can't be cheap

 

Honda paint = crap

 

What part of the car is that? I can't make it out...

 

One part is the passengers side door. The other is the trunk. There are a few more places I found the other day.

that just means that your car doesn't have a clear coat... nothing to worry about

I've never personally detailed a PY R so I can't verify whether they have clear coats or not.

 

dat sux dude it looks bunrt

 

I had my PY ITR resprayed PPG Indy Racing yellow. It cost 2700, took half a year, and I did all the wet-sanding and almost all the stripping. Its a huge task if you want to do it right, ie spray the doorjambs etc. And if you really want it perfect you need to pull the engine and put it back in, which would be at least another $500.

 

I smell warranty work...

 

its called oxidation... you want to take all of that off.... under that stuff is were the good paint still lies...

get a clay bar and it will take the oxidation right out.
