lol.. its horrible eh? they don't stay new for long... seems to chip quite easy, I have loads now after 12500 miles. :S

I find the paint has chipped very easily on my vrs.

Compared to my old car, this paintjob is very poorly done.

But I suspect it has to do with (after all) that it's a Skoda, they had to save money everywhere...

I find modern paint on all cars pretty rubbish.

They just can't use the chemicals to make it nice and strong like they used to...

Try a 160,000 mile odd car. And thats with a lot of my paintwork being a lot fresher than the factory paint....

know how you feel got 4 on my vrs now 2000 miles :(

Only one in 9 months on my wife's

she obviously doesn't rally it enough :p

Paint isn't as strong as it used to be. Suzuki are particularly bad. My parents Swift is covered in them

I think the paint is fantastic but then again I've come from a Honda!

I couldnt possibly comment!!

I noticed a small one on my front bumper and its done 800 miles :(

It's a car, as much as I love mine I use it everyday and you can't avoid them, the more you try to the worse it is lol just enjoy it

Yes I had a red civic type-r and it was terrible.

At least there is primer/undercoat on this car.

My Renault Clio 200 CUP's bumper got a stone chip and when i washed it about 2 inches of paint came off. There was NO primer whatsoever underneath, just painted staright onto black plastic !!!!

I've done about 11000 miles and the car was covered until I touched them up. Very soft paint. I corrected swirl marks recently with a finishing pad and finishing polish, shows how soft the paint is.

Stonechips - just a fact of life really. If you drive it, you're going to get them Depends on the type of roads and traffic you tend to encounter too.

See the ChipEx Group Buy :yes:

And a decent sealant and wax combo will at least afford slightly better protection from them.
