Description of the problem | I am noticing excessive paint chips on the hood and front fenders of my 2017 mazda 3. The paint is: soul red crystal paint. I have not noticed or heard road debris hit the car. The car has about 23000 miles. The paint seems very thin. I have noticed other mazda owners with this paint having similar issues. Perhaps these cars should be recalled and be repainted. I have submitted a photo - there is one dent right front fender from a rock that did hit the car over a year ago, but the chips were not there. |
