Red paint chips extremely easily. Have had this car for less than one year and driven less than 5,000 miles but have lots of chips on the hood, fenders, roof and doors. Given this paint is an extra charge I would not expect this. Drove my previous vehicle for 10 years and didn't have as many paint chips as I do on this after only a year.
Paint on soul red chipping and flaking very easily.
Every time small road gravel hits paint, the paint chips. The car is less than a year old and has at least 20 chips on the hood. The chips are enough to eventually rust the metal. The paint color is red.
There is a defect in the red soul crystal metallic paint. The paint on my car is chipping off down to the metal. The marks are all over my car and I have owned this car less than 2 months. If you barely touch it on something the paint chips off and Mazda is claiming there is nothing wrong and it is just from road debris. My car has metal exposed all over the car which means it will rust. Mazda said I need to take it to a body shop and take car of it on my own. They changer $595 for this color and then want me to pay even more to have a full body repaint and to get the proper protection for it. I should have to do that for a brand new car. There is only one time I know exactly when/ where it came from. There is a scratch on my passenger door that happened when I was opening my door in a garage. It barely touched something and it is is scratched all the way down to the metal.
