Hello,
As I can see, there are many more with same paint issues as me.
So I come from Eorope and I bought a 2006 JAZZ sport - colour: vivid blue pearl.
Problem:
- the paint layer is too thin (someone scrathed it with somenthing on the roof - ffs)
- someone banged my passenger door (with his door prolly) and what is left is a bunch of scratch - omfg
I have it covered by insurance, but this wont save my paint problem.
I am going to visit my local dealer and try to solve the problem somehow. I am going to keep you updated...

I did manage all formal issues with my insurance company and Honda dealer. They will reapair the damage on my door (the litle scratch will get painted).
I have had a conversation with the insurrance valuer and he is a former Honda dealer. He said, that only blue (dark blue) and one more color are critical - the layer is too thin. So my next "quest" is to claim it.
I will inform you...

I have spoken to the service manager for Slovenia. I was told that since 2000 EU has changed policy for paints: all paints must be made on water basis.
Result of this is: since then paints have become less tenacious and more fragile. So avoid any scratches.
I have also been adwised that the minimum layer of paint coating should be 80 micrometers. I am going to measure it and keep you updated...

Nothing new since my last post.
My car is also build in Japan. But my front and rear bumper are completely different than those from american domestic market. I will try to upload pics from my Fit (JAZZ).
