Mitsubishi teh suuuck!

So i was getting out of my car today and my foot accidently scuff the side skirt, i dont have the aero kit so it doesnt stick out that much. i do it all the time and normally i can just rub it off with a paper towel since its just the black rubber from my shoes BUT this time the whole paint came off! im like WTF! piece of S#!T paint!! im not sure if its just WW but these are the cheapest paint ive ever seen. So people be careful when you get out of your car! can i take it to the dealer and have them fix it? and i no wasnt racing.

amen all mitsubishi paint is crap. i wish this car had the paint quality of my wifes old 02 beetle turbo.. had it 4 years never waxed it and washed it once a month.... looked new when we got rid of it.. You should see the fingernail scratches my wife put in my evo's door...

Having a car completely painted costs like $8,000 doesn't it?

Are you serious? When he says "get the whole thing painted," he was referring to the sideskirt, not the whole car. There would be no reason to repaint the whole car. Good lord man...

I'm always worried about this. I know that my passengers and I always rub it on the way out, because when it's dirty you can see the little clean spots where your pants rub.

I'm careful, but one of these days it's going to end up like yours. It's a pain to clean, too. All the dirt just sits on there. The rest of the car looks pretty clean, and those skirts are black. Yuck.

"The whole thing" isn't the clearest of descriptors - and this is the internet: Land of Insane Suggestions.
