Please put me on that update list if you can. I'm having chipping problems on my front bumper...
and so is NASA. Need ammunition. There's something definitely something fishy about the paint.

IF they use Spies-Hecker paint, AND it is properly mixed and applied, then the match will be perfect
That's the factory paint, and my Imola has a mix of original and locally painted parts, and you cannot tell one from the other.

NOOO!!! I was hoping that was somewthing I was not going to
have to deal with on my Imola. No offense Sharon, but I hoped they had fixed that problem on the newer ones. Guess I'll have to get a clearbra just to keep my front end together. Repaint just isn't as good as the factory job. They can't bake it well enough.
