The damn paint is paper thin... I noticed a little nick on the fender.. And it to the metal.. You can't even really see it it hard to find but the paint job is so thin! Damn you scion!!! Gonna have to get a respay with a few extra coats of color sooner then I prefer!

Does any one else. Agree?

On the fender is a bit random.. Look like key scratch?
I would hope its a hater than bad quality paint. Even still it'd suck to have someone key the car

Does it look like a rock hit it from driving?

Maybe a rock chip.. Deff not a key mark. It's just frustrating how thin the paint it..

Yea this is my 2nd tc and I've notice amungst other vehicles scion/Toyota paint and clear coat is super this. Which means unless you redo it in a out 3 years there's goin to be tons of rock chips on front bumper, hood, and fenders.

^ thumbs down! I guess it gives me a reason for a custom paint job

Or clear vinyl gaurd... or old school bumper Bra (which would look good on an RS7 IMO)

They have been re doing the highways around here and a couple months ago when i first got it ti was getting pelted with rocks. I haven't noticed any scratches in the front bumper yet, but i am afraid to look. I'm sure there are some there.

I have tons of chips on my car, especially the front bumper paint, it chips soooooo easy.

I am also a little disappointed with the paint job on my 11' xb. I dropped a nut onto the bumper and it left a little nick. I notice a lot of light scratches

I know my paint has chips all over the front, one inside my door and I think my clear coat is coming up in one part on my door too. I am plan on going to the dealer and see when they say about it

people said the same thing about the 1stgen tc's. It's just the way they are making the paint nowadays to be more environmentally responsible. it sucks.

Eventually if the paint gets too messed up I'll get it repainted the same color by a body shop
