I havent had problems with bubbling or rust but, i think they sprayed on the paint just enough to cover. Pebbles that hit my car they go right through the paint and you see primer. Personally i think they could of put atleast another coat on.

If you have such problems take it back to the dealer, hopefully they'll take it under warranty.

They will cover bubbling and such as to rock chips they will not cover that I think. I'll have to re-read the warrenty but I believe that's not covered..

i've had alot of trouble with the side skirts on my OZ. i've taken my car to the dealership twice to have them fixed. the paint (or some colored adhesive) is always chipping. not sure about others but they've done a really ****ty job painting them (or whatever they do).

I have had no troubles with mines. Had to take trunk back once to get it repainted cause of rust showing up. But other than that. Nothing. Thank god we have a three year paint warranty.

and as far as the paint on the skirts .... nothing you can do , it's too thin and can be chipped by either shutting the door too hard all the time or high speed shutters (shaking)

the saga of Artemis' paint can be found in the "Lancer paint fading green" thread at:

And, after the first fight, I have to go and see about getting it painted again- more rock chips
