Fact or Fiction (Painiting euro cars)
Someone told me once, that cars like BMW and Audi have a tendency to paint cracks or chips, after repaint in a couple of years, because for some reason aftermarket paint don't stick well to the car's body very well. Or it is a result for crappy autobody stores that do cornor cutting paint jobs. If anyone one had an accident and got their cars repainted. How is the new paint holding up?

When it comes to paint, you pretty much get what you pay for.
There are many different prices on paint jobs. The cheaper ones that seem to good to be true, usually are. Yes, it is possible to get a quality paint job that will last. It just depends on how much you are willing to spend and the honesty of the business you are dealing with.

I don't know about cracking, but repainting these cars makes them less durable. Same with BMWs
the body shop I have used on a few occasions, who came highly recommended from the Porsche shop I sometimes use, told me that Audis and BMWs tend to not hold paint that well. I've had to get my hood resprayed (paid by paint manufacturer) because rock chips occur a lot more. Whatever they do in the assembly plant is obviously different than what is done aftermarket.
