Paint issues on MK6

[am1w]

No not really just the ongoing issue around stone chips appearing on the car , and also the paintwork is to thin and it's starting to swirll pissing me off
The dearler was very good today they have booked  me in to see there speacalist who deals with paintwork issues's!! So see what he has to say on Monday ?

Sorry to hear this Steve. Really very upsetting. I am also terrified of getting them on my red paintwork. I magine how much worse it will look than on a white car!
So far ok.
I had this problem with the Honda and they had to respray the car!
Really hope it gets sorted. It spoils the ownership experience.

When i had problems with my red mk6 gti i also seen the independent vw specialist about my paint issue's.

Absolute waste of time, got a load of pencils out and started pressing them into my paintwork and then looked to see which one's left a mark also rubbed a solution onto the paintwork with cotton wool to see if it removed any paint.

In the end he will tell you it's "within tolerence's" and the swirls happen with poor wash techniques

The re-spray caused me more problems as the inside and outside trim had to be re-fitted and re-fitted and fcuking re-fitted again and again and again  .... then once they had done this the trim got damaged ..... then some parts were not properly painted ...... then the new paintwork got worse swirl marks .....  I could go on and on ....... took 9 months to sort it out  .... but they were very nice and helpful  ..... I nearly started taking anti-depressants and tranquilisers  ...... it was a daymare and nightmare  ..... you get the picture ........ an experience in hell!

I paid for an 'indpendent engineer' and he wrote a scathing report. Things really began to happen in my favour very quickly!
Cost me, I think, £85. Worth it. I got the £85 back with a free service!

Steve: If you have problems, I will fish out the name of the company I used. Very good I must admit. They hate a negative report!
