Paint / Clear coat failure ?

[5tinger]

Hmm, I just had both headlights replaced under warranty due to peeling clearcoat. between that and this thread im now kinda worried how the rest of the clear coat is going to fare in the Aussie sun

These paint flaws maybe forgiven on a entry level econobox, but definatley unacceptable for a premium car like this one..

Happy to

Any update with your one?

Wow that looks awful. This is now the third one in this thead and with all three being the Aurora Black colour.

Make that four as my decklid is doing the same thing.

Mind posting the pics? Is it following the same general pattern of failure as all the others here so far? Dark paint and failed clear coat & paint isolated to the boot deck section?

#5 - Aurora Black with a faded deck lid. This is probably the only pic/evidence I have of mine being faded. But it was faded like that when I picked it up used with about 41k miles on the clock. I didn’t get to take too many pictures of her as she was destroyed about 6 months later in a hail storm.

Just keep it waxed. But I think you’re safe with yours being garage kept. Who knows how long mine had baked in the Texas sun before i picked up my Aurora black one. I have zero issues with the rear deck finish on the Snow White Pearl

Holy crap! How big were those hail balls???

Golf ball to baseball sized hail. Destroyed 4 cars at our house that night.

Whoa! Lived in Texas for a few years and those hail storms are no joke. My neighbor had a new Toyota pickup that he

bought at a hail sale for a really good price.

I'd day a pattern here has now been established regarding faded /severely oxidised paint on the boot deck lid of dark coloured Stinger's (black, dark grey so far) without extending to any of the nearby panels which are also plastic.

Well mine is in mint condition and currently in my man cave if anyone wants it lol...

I fitted a carbon bootlid with duck bill spoiler.
