Red ones need more polishing as they get older so paint get's thinner quicker: Less weight more speed :whistler:

That's interesting .. perhaps least popular here due to fear of fading (although paints seem more fade resistant these days) :cool: But the i30 does look great in Red  :goodjob:

Post by: Dazzler on July 27, 2011, 13:00:44

Without stating the bleeding obvious.. something is seriously wrong (Not cured properly?)

How long have you had your car? What did the Dealer say?

(Can't see how Hyundai could back out of sorting that!)  :disapp:

Then get back to the dealership asap, or sooner :eek:

Title: Re: I30 VVT 1.6L from Belgium
Post by: florian46 on July 27, 2011, 21:51:58

I have my car since 4 months, my dealer has no answers
hyundai is warned, I await an answer

failure would have occurred at the painting on the chain to the factory.

an Hyundai expert must examine the  car  :sweating: :sweating:

Dealer should re-paint it asap by following correct painting procedure.

I imagine that getting all the junk paint off 'properly', then repainting the car 'properly' would be excessivly expansive.   I therefore imagine the a new car would be the only sensible option...

whatever the result, good luck with it.

So what will they do? Only re-paint the car. But first they must very carefully remove the old paint (it will be difficult).
