GM isn’t known for paint quality. Swirl mark city if you don’t hand wash.

Relative leased brand new 2022 Kia sportage first thing I noticed was swirl marks all over it. Obvs came from dealer detailer.

I have bought a brand new Niro about a month ago and in a certian area had noticed these strange iiradecant lines in certain lights. After some research I believe they are what they are called Hologram swirls from poor polishing techniques which will come out. The car is black, I live near the sea (and seagulls) and the car paint will need to be professionally polished at some point down the track

I have fusion black and I could see a lot of swirls in the paint after taking delivery...

Kia’s paint will swirl just by looking at it

My local Kia dealer likes to drive every car through their automatic car wash before someone comes to look at it. Some cars have a lot of swirl marks in the paint already. Their automatic car wash is the worst.

Take it to the dealer. have them fix it under warranty. this happened to mine and they fixed it along with some weird paint swirls on the rear handles Kia in Folsom, said that they are well aware of this issue.

I use only touchless automatic washes. Mine's black so I'm worried about swirls from the big machines. No issues so far.

Let me tell you. I was just like you when I got my car but this car paint chips like no other. Hyundai paint is awful. I got my car in October and it has tons of paint chips and swirl marks

No never use a brush especially on the Kia and Hyundai paint. They paint is soft and will definitely leave swirl marks. Only use touchless!

Yes, I absolutely hate how easy the paint swirls.

I took my phone LED to shine it on my navigational screen for my 22 Sonata and found that there were a bunch of swirls.

My black on a 2015 Tacoma is so messed up fading and rough just burnt off. About to sell it due to the cost to get it repainted.

I’ve been using Klasse paint protection. Not as regularly as I probably should have been, but I never had this problem in my old Tacoma. Another Inferno Tacoma in my neighborhood has the same fading, and this morning a landscaper came in a charcoal grey 3rd generation Tacoma, and his is fading even worse. It seems to be endemic to all newer Tacomas to me. Looks like Toyota is using some pretty crappy paint these days.

Sorry to hear that and I feel ya, it’s not much still but I’ve noticed some fading too, I’m already hitting it whit some polish and wax before it get too bad and yea paint plays a big part on rust resistant so any nick or cut that exposes the bare metal has to be killed and painted quickly otherwise its going crusty fast, that’s what I’m assuming occurred to the impact bars, they can come with some imperfections, that’s why I’m hitting them with some extra coat wherever I notice bare metal.

The Inferno orange on my Tacoma faded quickly but Toyota trucks maintain value well despite cosmetic issues.

After 15 years, my Corolla's paint is fading badly even though the engine runs perfectly fine.

And early aughts Hyundai sparkle paint started fading and peeling on the way home from the dealership.

I had a 2002 Sedona, already disappoint with dealer and regional manager 2 years after i bought and the paint is rough and fading

I have a 2007 Honda Civic. This gen of Honda Civic is notorious for its paint recall. The roof and trunk lid have started to develop some wierd fading, and generally the paint is of low quality.

I'm honestly less worried about chips and more worried about the shiny paint fading in 10 years.

Wash and wax regularly. The paint that Honda uses is very bad. In my city i see at least 3 or 4 Fits in circulation with bad bad fading peeling rising paint.

Just a Honda paint issue, blue is particularly bad about fading and peeling.

70,000 and going strong except for the paint fading on the trim around the windows that Kia fails to acknowledge or do anything about.

Been taking care of my Telluride and I’ve noticed an odd fading of the paint shown above. Anyone else have this happen to theirs? It’s covered (I hope) and I’d like to make sure I can avoid it in the futur

I regret getting a black mustang. It's always dirty and ford paint kinda sucks, already fading.

I wish I had a carport too. My F150 hood and roof is fading bad. Gonna have to get them repainted, which I hate doing because I won't be able to say it has the original paint anymore.

I just got this vehicle last December and I started noticing the paint is fading near the center of the hood. Took it to a body shop and was told that it's the base coat and that the clear coat is fine. Are there any defects with Cadillac black paint?

Other people covered the standard items but I'd check the rear to see if you have the following color mismatch issue reported several yacht blue owner's.

Yeah that’s not a thing anymore but keep telling yourself that. Just took delivery of my own with 100% quality. Meanwhile my old Honda civic had mismatched paint colors from the factory.

Honda sales here. Perhaps the factory doesn’t know? My dealership recently had a 2023 HRV with mismatched bumper come to us FROM THE FACTORY. Like, it wasn’t even close. Not sure how this is happening and I’ve Never seen it before until recently.

I have a 2022 JT in bright white. 14 months old and 10+k miles. I have mismatched paint. At first I thought it was the old car wash soap I last used. So I bought some new car wash and kept it in the basement so it has a constant temperature. Ok so the problem is the cab and fenders all are bright white but the cargo bed, both sides are a dull dirty white. Tail gate seems ok. Has anyone had any kind of paint problems with the JT? I would say any jeep but I would imagine it would most likely be the plant where the JT is assembled. My 1st thought is it was repainted? But I was supposedly told when it came in and I don’t think they had enough time to paint it. Just occurred to me it might have been repainted at the plant. What do you all think?

Different materials and front/rear covers aren’t painted together with the body panels. Causes a panel to panel mismatch.

This bottom trim color on all the models is terrible. Looks like mismatched paint on this particular one. If this has all the issues the Cadillac Lyric does, it'll be in the service department most of the time. Big missed opportunity here, Acura. Meh.

Jeez look at that paint mismatch. Come on dodge!

I put them on the jeep and saw the color of the paint is slightly mismatched. They're sarge green, yeah. But, they're noticeably less warm (and therefore slightly darker/flatter green) than the rest of the vehicle's paint. I'm not saying it's a dealbreaker, but for 5 grand, it's disappointing. Doing some research, I've seen that several people have gotten much worse mismatched paint than I did...

I hate to say it, but no amount of blending here is going to mask the horrible color mismatch. It straight up needs to be taken back and painted with a better color match.

I've seen wonders done by a good paintless dent repair professional. The right person with the right tools could make this look brand new, or at least better than slightly mismatched paint.

Our Buick Encore’s front bumper didn’t match the body and it was a non-metallic or pearl white and brand new. Mazda is much better about it though and it should match very closely from the factory.

Wild to think that anyone would warranty that.. but id live with it or youre looking at a few hundred at a body shop. i would just leave it since matching paint might be worse than that small scuff.

That's an amazing turn around. I was rear ended and it took 1.5+ months for parts to come in. Just got it back and the paint isn't quite a match :(

Look at paint problems also, just about every '18-'22 Honda Accord has mismatched paint on the trunk lid vs the trim. Every manufacturer has issues but only Tesla is under the microscope.

Agreed, they never perfectly match the panels. The owner can never unsee mismatched paint.

2024 Honda Civic Si in sonic gray pearl. Had them repaint it once already because it was terribly matched.

Upon return, the paint chips were addressed with touch-up paint, but the repair was unsatisfactory, and additional scuff marks were visible I didn’t notice before indicating someone clearly scraped the car at some point.

I off road my ranger all the time. I've got a scuff under the back bumper and a few superficial limb scratches on the sides, rock chips, and a beat up skid plate. Trucks get damaged if you use them. It's what they're for. You'd be amazed what a good buffing compound can do. Plus touch up paint is cheap. Good to see that you care about your vehicle.

I’m pretty sure I see scuff marks right there you had something. You may not have been aware of it, but I’d be better than 80%. That’s the result of an impact of some sort.

Had a scuff mark like this one on an old car of mine that was from a drive through car wash. Came out easy with soap and a microfiber. I only wash my sport cars by hand so don’t have to worry about this and microfiber scratches.

I took a picture of this one because the other already has scuffs on it from my 2yo! Gonna try to get them buffed then some ppf applied.

After having our beautiful car for a month’ish a piece of plastic flew off a construction site and hit the side of the driver door. No dents and it looks like it’s a bad scuff mark. 😞 Anyone know if it’s possible to take care of on my own or should I bring to body shop?

Happens to me all the time. It almost feels intentional. I work from home and rarely drive the truck and yet I’m always noticing new scratches and scuff marks

Any recommendations for door edge guards for the 11th gen, clear or color matched? Been noticing small scuffs on my doors and wanted to try installing some to prevent minuscule damage. I’ve looked online and haven‘t seen any immediate standouts.

My only gripe is how scuffed the black trim gets…. I’m unhinged constantly with wipes removing all the marks!

Although my dealership fixed it, my rear door handle is all scuffed up from them probably prying out parts to remove the panel.

I had the 2021 N-line and it’s nice to see they finally added ventilated seats. It was my only complaint with it other than the gloss black trim that scuffed super easy.

I have the same problem on 23 Palisade. Great car but little things like that bother me, it's my first Hyundai. I wonder how it will look in a few years if it scuffs so easily. Guess we'll see.

Okay i can take a look for those markers. But dont you think my scuff if a little big for just a marker fix? Its not a tiny little rock chip, its a decent sized scuff.

Someone likely (slowly) backed into you. Seen this before. If you wash your car and look super closely you’ll probably find scuff marks where the hit happened. 😫

Yes touchless or hand wash. Otherwise you are going to get your paint all scuffed at some point

Another consideration on matte paint is the inability to buff out any scratches and lights scuffs. Looks great, but too delicate for my tastes.

Orange peel is beyond "paint correction" that is sanding the clearcoat/paint. Your not going to correct orange peel with an orbital buffer. I've messed around with expel on my bronco and orange peel is the least of your concerns with it.

My '23 black has orange peel very bad and needs a whole paint correction.

22 radiant red metallic here. Also paint chips on hood and factory orange peel on both sides . I should of wrapped it

Welcome! Orange peel is part of the Hyundai charm Digital Teal is a great color! I had the choice between that and Cyber Gray and decided on the the gray. Still feel a little jealous when I see posts with the teal, though!

My 21 had a lot of contaminants in it. Orange peel too. my 22 pro had thin paint and a few areas where it was missed and could see gray like it’s primer or the body plastic color. 22 had orange peel too. Click to expand... I think it's a issue on all Toyotas I'd be afraid to try and wet sand and fix orange peel because like you said spots my not have much paint but cement with no wavy peel would look amazing

there's a reason why cadillacs aren't popular outside of the US i guess. look at the amount of orange peel on the paint, for something that aspires to compete with bentley and rolls royce.

You aren’t kidding. They had one of the new high horse power Escalades at a race I went to recently and it had some of the worst orange peel I have ever seen.

If it makes you feel better my 2023 Camaro has orange peel and its 100% brand new.

My 23 has orange peel from the factory. I work hard to keep it shiny but I always see the orange peel. Not really something I can buff out if I wanted to. Wet sanding would likely remove too much paint. I'm not a body/paint guy though.

My mom recently bought a new VW Tiguan and the orange peel borderline makes it look like some weird flakey, candied finish lmao. I’m guessing the only solution is a full repaint from the ground up?

You are not wrong here. Had to make a buddy go back to Kia after buying a telluride because that paint was 100% orange peel on the whole backend.

I could say the same about my '23 Kia Forte. I've seen worse but clearly there is orange peel.

I noticed most automakers these days have orange peel brand new out the factory. It’s insane where we are with QC

But I’ve noticed the same thing as nukedogger. The 2022 elantras have ridiculously more factory orange peel than my 2013 elantra.
