Hello all,
It is with great sadness that my first post has to be in this thread. I found this board after searching on google for Honda Fit Paint. This afternoon, I went to a coin-op car wash to wash my car. I had just come back from a couple 700 mile road trips of which close to half was at night so I had a lot of bugs stuck to the front of my NBP Fit Sport. Those touchless car washes never get all the bugs off so I went to a DIY one so I could make sure I spent ample time in the areas that needed it the most. As I was spraying the bugs off the bottom edge of my hood, I noticed a couple chips of paint which came off with the bugs! I about fainted right there. My brand new car, just over two months old with about 6,000 miles on it and already I have chips in the paint! From BUGS!!! I couldn't believe that it was anything I had done or stone damage this early in the game. My last car I drove to 275k and it would have been barren of paint by now if it would have came off this easily with only insects. I searched google to see if anyone else has had issues with the paint on the fit and that's when I found this thread. Every post I read, my heart sank a little lower. I got up through about page four when I skipped to the last page, hoping that after nearly 300 posts that Honda would have announced some kind of recall, but alas they have not and it is just more of the same. I checked my back bumper at the wheel well and while I don't see any metal yet, I did notice for the first time a little rubbery strip of paint coming out the crack. Tomorrow I'll post some pictures if anyone is interested. I worked so hard to get my Fit and drove 2 and a half hours each way to get it. Hopefully my local dealership and Honda US will be willing to do something for me.
