What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

The upside is when they repaint the paint will be thicker and more chip resistant. Make sure you ask for extra coats.

No, don't do that. That only increases the likelihood of the rest of the car looking a different shade! The priority should be to match: then get PPF at the earliest opportunity after the paint cures all the way.

No the front bumper in swp looks a slightly darker shade due to fact its made of black plastic. An extra coat of white plus an extra clear coat would be safe.
Definitely agree about PPF.

Merlin is correct , more paint increases the depth of coverage and it will darken the look of the color , proper pre paint preparation , prime and color coat and clear all properly applied will be tough ................

Well my front bumper looks darker now. Maybe talk to a spray painter for their opinion.

ALL plastic bumpers will show a slightly different color on ALL colors vs metal even on black . Proper paint application not more paint is the answer to color coverage and durability ....................

Didn't realise that. Thank you for the heads up.

I gave my baby a wash and vacuum, and then drove nearly 300km to Port Macquarie NSW for a conference, and promptly got the front end splattered with kamikaze bugs. Such are the joys of driving on a 30° day during the Australian summer. Now I’ll have to wash her again but not until after the return trip.

 

[MerlintheMad]

"Kamikaze bugs", love it.

Just giving an update with my paint stain after my service. Just got off the phone with Kia Australia who officially tell me..... They can't do anything. Of course not. That's exactly what I was expecting. They told me I have to take this up with the manager of the service department where the car was serviced, but yeah I'm still waiting for the tool to call me back and it's been almost a week. Looks like this fix is coming out of MY pocket. I am NOT happy and I'm going to be making a hell of a noise about this.

That’s complete BS, how bad is the support from Kia. You go rattle some cages even take it to Current Affair on nine.

If it’s brake fluid how the hell would you have it and how he’ll did it get there . Logic dictates it came from the service.
