HondaS2000Tuner

Just bought a new 04 Civic ex coupe for daily. I purchased it fully paid last year around thanksgiving time. Itz almost been a year and the paint is in horrible condition. There are different shades everywhere and some places itz comin off. It isn't due to rock cihps but might have been something to do with bird craps and dead bugs. But it shuoldn't be this bad. Does Honda cover their original paint??

yes in some situations they will fix paint problems-
if the paint is peeling for example...
they will often issue a tsb for these types of problems.
take it to the dealer and let us know what they say!
(be sure to get it really cleaned up first so they can see the problems and so it looks like the car has been taken care of properly)

The one gripe I have with Honda is that their paint SUCKS. My Accord and now my S have both aged far too quickly! I wash often and wax too!

I would pay a few extra dollars for paint that is worth a S&*T

I agree though...this is the first time any of my cars have had paint issue (My past cars were all Honda and Acura). I went to the dealership and they looked at the paint. As expected they weren't able to do anything about it (yea right) and a problem such as this is not covered in anyway. They didn't think it was deliberate damages (and it wasn't) but they still wouldn't help me with this. So~ I sent a complaint letter explaining what has happened and what I wanted to be done for it to Honda Motor company in CA. Hopefully I'll have some better results. I'll update this whenever I get a response.
