why use such crappy paint and thin clearcoat, peeling bumpers at 1500 miles

Its lame how CHEAP Hondas paint really is??? Id pay an extra GRAND with the purchase of the car to have stronger paint!

is it only usdm fits or is it everywhere, because I think I have only seen on it usdm in all of threads, btw I called 800# for honda america, they played dumb but thanked me for letting them know. big help, yeah right. the dealer said they will strip and paint my bumpers as soon as the rep who goes there twice a week signs off on it. its been a week if I dont here anything today I will calling them. now I am just worried about them taking apart my car and messing something else up. this sucks.

Just looked over my car. Found over 4 little scatches and i really take care of my paint. It seems like if you even breath on the paint it scratches. Its ridiculous. HONDA what are you thinking with this paint, i think its about as bad as you can get.
Tomorrow im waxing those scracthes out(i hope).
