There aint damn thing good about Mazda paint other than (some) of the colors. Wet sanding factory paint? Ha Ha, It's so thin by the time you get to a smooth finish your down to the primerYou only have one layer of prim, one layer of paint and one layer of finish.
Thats my $0.02 cents worth
Yeh it chips easy as s*** too! lol, I took less care of my eclipse (still good care) but that thing had less chips in the 5 years than my mazda after 1, thats bad.
Im talking with lawyers to lemon my car, my driver side bearing is making noise now, my dealer said its because my tires are low on tread and is causing the tires to pull away from eachother causing the noise, if their low on tread how could they be pulling away from eachother????? So they want me to get new tires and then see how it is. Last time I checked new tires dont fix wheel bearings... And I just got 2 recalls in the mail yesterday for that damn swirl valve and then a Pcm flash for the Fuel trim threshold.... Im getting sick of this car already.....(sick)
