u think theyd fix this by now... i love the car but the paint quality is so incredibly bad. if you breath on it too hard, theres a scratch.

After the respray, mine has seen 9k more miles, and it still looks show-room perfect.

My bumper was hit with a ladder. It left 2 nasty gouges and peeled the paint off. I need to get it fixed

Mine has spots where cones wore off the paint.

I had some guy bump me at a stop light this morning. There's a perfect indentation of the bolt from his license plate, and a vertical line from the licence plate holder as well.

He wanted to just pay for it, so I'll get an estimate... what do they usually do for damage so minor.

Some places will spackle it, but I'd make them put a new bumper on.

new bumper+ paint = $500

mine is too in the sme area. My dealer was going to repaint the whole bumber, but the also said that I could have some touch up paint and they would note just incase it spreads.

WHich was great for me becauase at 7k miles I really don't want to have to do a respray already

Problems with paint peeling in other seams?

Has anyone had an issue with paint peeling and rust in other seams? Specifically a 2008 Fit Sport. I have a rust spot (and peeling paint) in the seam above the headlight.

So do the 09/10 Fits also have paint issues? Or is this only for the previous models?

Bump... I'm also wondering about the paint problems. Does this exist on the 2010 models?
