I wasn't excusing Hyundai at all. I was just saying how difficult it
is to maintain paint quality with all the government regulations.
I was also saying that a new paint job would be better than the
original, because small body shops don't have all the regulations.

I'm noticing that on my Sonata as well. I waxed the car a couple of
weeks ago for the first time and was amazed at the number of scratches
in the paint. And the front of the rear fencers and the rocker panels
are just blasted from stones from the tires. My Sonata has worse
looking paint after 8 months than my Chevy truck does after 13 years ...
and that is not an exaggeration! I'll take pictures and post if anyone
wants to see them.
I put mud flaps on my Sonata shortly after I bought it, but they are too
short of be of much help. They protect at most the front half of the
rocker panels. My truck mudlfaps are much more effective, but the paint
also seems a lot more durable.

Re: 2006 Sonata V-6 Paint Problem
Thanks, jtees4, my Hyundai dealer want me to meet the Hyundai
representative. It's looking good for an agreement, but, like I said, an
extra "something" would be pleased. As I said, i'll keep you in touch with
all this.

Did you look at the paint layers with a loupe? It isn't unusual on
modern cars for the paint to come off en masse. My minivan took a rock
to the hood last winter and this happened as well. A chip about the
size of a pencil eraser came off cleanly down to bare metal which of
course began to rust immediately. It had primer, but you had too look
at the exposed edge of the paint very carefully to see it.

Did you look at the paint layers with a loupe? It isn't unusual on
modern cars for the paint to come off en masse. My minivan took a rock
to the hood last winter and this happened as well. A chip about the
size of a pencil eraser came off cleanly down to bare metal which of
course began to rust immediately. It had primer, but you had too look
at the exposed edge of the paint very carefully to see it.

Re: 2006 Sonata V-6 Paint Problem
If you want to place the blame for the thin paint check the VOC
requirements the gov't passed. It's like a lot of things we are
getting done to "protect" us.
