The paint chips very easily. The hood is very pitted. Titanium flash pearl. This paint color was an extra cost too. Since initial ownership, it has just become so bad over the ownership period, that I can't touch it up any more. Extremely reliable car otherwise. I purchased the car new.
I am noticing excessive paint chips on the hood and front fenders of my 2017 Mazda 3. The paint 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.
