Tiburon

  • Manual transmission
  • miles
Paint on the 2003 Tiburon (teal/blue now called tidal wave) improper application results in scracthers appearing very easily. Using fingernails softly against paint will scratch it. In other extreme conditions micro flecks of paint come off of hood and other parts of car. Paint is much too thin for the mildest of road conditions resulting in rapidly aging appearance and condition. It is totally unacceptable. I would suggest a clearcoat applied or repainted.
