not enough clear in the paint. The red and yellow seem to have the most problems. My buddy with a red one power washed his car at a car wash and the paint came off the front bumber probably inch long inch high. My other buddy was buffing his evo and a little paint came off man was he pissed, and hes been buffing for 5 years never had any paint come off ever.

I think people are just big complainers. The paint on my car is beautiful!

hey my paints fine to other then some little chips on the front bumber from being on the highway ever day for 100 miles. I just know alot of people that have had problems with their paint and every autobody place says the clear on the car is S H I T.

i have red and havent had a problem yet. But my buddy has a black one and his paint is chipping. His problem is that it honestly looks like they only put one or two coats of pain on it from the factory.

the worse i've seen on any product, let alone a car. it scratch and chip very easy. i think the new evo use 2 stage paint which should be better.

my 05 has chips but thats to be expected. the part im not happy about is how it seems to stain easily. i also feel like i have actually washed some off just washing it by hand.. my sideskirt on the right side looks really thin. this is a ww by the way

Wait about 2 years and see if you feel the same.

You would think that for how much these cars cost Mitsu would use better paint or add more of it!!

chips/scratches easily.

I think so, but mitsu always finds away to cut cost and thus is why they are in the whole more then any other auto company, but i love my evo so i guess i will just deal with it.

My paint sucks.

It's so thin that I dont ever drive it...trying to avoid more chips.

My mirrors are pink.

A leaf falling from a tree will scratch it.

I am tempted to repaint the whole car, but I'm kind of saving the respray until after the APR kit... (That I might never buy)

honestly there are many threads here on this topic why do you still want to make a new one and ask about it?
