WTF?Paint peeling off from underbody

Hey how's it going guys.I've had my fit for about 4 weeks now and has washed it about 3 times.On the 2nd wash I noticed something weird on my wash mit.It's like small rubber shavings.I looked underneath the car on the driver's side and the paint is peeling off from the rear jackstand point and a little bit before that.




What the hell!
Should I go back to the dealer and see if it's covered under warrantee?I mean eventually that part will be covered with side skirts but I'm afraid it'll keep peeling off and rust..

Looks like you scrap it on something.

They are scrape marks, but if you're sure you didn't scrape the underbody on anything, perhaps they scraped it while shipping or unloading it. In that case, maybe they would at least touch it up for you.
Good luck!

yeah that's defiitely a scrape mark. Dont' worry so much since it's under the car not visible. don't worry about rust either just drive the car. =]

its a scrape for sure, but i can tell you this... yes yes honda is known for long lasting cars and such, but their quality isn't the greatest. honda paint is actually not very good, easily noticed by the quality of the paint job in the pictures. but hey... i love my fit!
