Paint issues on MK6
« on: 18 April 2010, 11:11 »
I have a Candy white, and already there are stone chips appearing in and around front bumper got 3-4 chips going on!! My last mk5 only had 2 chips which over 12k is not bad, The GTD has only 18,00 miles the paintwork seems to be very soft its not got hard coat on it?? I am concerned about the finish of the MK6??

Anybody else got issues with paintwork?? Thanks Steve :huh:

Morning Steve:
Snoops is going to start a thread and possibly a poll.
Anyhoops, I am also getting a bit concerned with the paint issues. Saw a white GTi on a '59 plate in my area and the bonnet and bumper were the worse for wear!

Off to Hellfords now for some vinyl paint. Should be in Church instead praying for our paint issues! :rolleyes:

Yes, I bet it is. But, as you say, people power is the way.
BTW, got the guy from Chipsaway to come and see my car tomorrow! Spoke to him just now before going to Hellfords! Won't bother now. Can relax a bit as I am feeling a bit happier.
It really caused me a bad night's sleep.

Wolfgang is only a young boy one still and needs lots of TLC. :grin:

That sounds a bit better! :laugh:
