Welcome to the world of Mazda Paint... don't sneeze too hard, you might strip the paint off.
 
Yep, the paint is very fragile. I think its because the yellow and a few other colors are a one step paint and clearcoat process. The sides of the doors are very easily chipped, and so is the hood and front bumper...
 
Yup the pain sux big time. In 4 months of ownership I have numerous chips and actual stains that won't come off. I have never owned a car with such crappy paint.
 
well, if and when it gets really bad, we'll just take it and have it repainted somewhere other then mazda! lol
 
I have a 2010 Black, CX-9 Grand Touring. I noticed the paint under the clear coat on the left rear side to appear as though it is wearing as well. I took the car back to the dealer, and they blamed it on Penn Dot using a solvent to fix bridges. They told me to contact Penn Dot to see if they will pay to fix the damage. They also told me to contact my insurance agent. Personally, I think it's a paint problem as well. Any suggestions on what to do next?
