Default Better paint?

So I'm here packing up some of my stuff (moving soon). I was packing my 1:18 scale diecast models (Yat Ming, Auto Art, Maisto) and noticed something. I think these cars have better paint than my xA. Anyone else think the paint is poor quality? I mean, the paint job on my xA is even and all, but it doesn't do ____ against rocks...

The front of my Xb looks like I drove through a sand storm....

I have a black 04 XB, I also notice the paint is kind of delicate. Seems to scratch easily, but barely noticeable unless you look really closley. There is a little chip too from a very light bump with the door of the other car in my garage. Thats really the only thing I dont like, other than that its a great car.

mik,
Where you moving to? I agree w/ you that our die-cast has better paint jobs. I know my collection of Jadatoys has nice paint jobs.

Moving about half a mile from where I live now :D . I go to school here in Orlando and the apartment complex I live at now has become affiliated with UCF. My roommates and I were on disciplinary probation last semester after one of our keg parties was broken up. I just came back from my parents house and I already can't stand it here. College kids don't know how to clean after themselves. Vomit on the walkway is a normal occurance here...
