WE took delivery of the car in January 2007. Approximately August 2007, the paint began to peel off the insides of all four doors. (Honda have accepted responsibility for this under warranty). However as time moved on I noticed small patches where the paint had lifted, these grew more and more. The front bumper, bonnet, two front wings, including the sides of the wings and some on the side of the car. HOnda had a paint specialist to examine the car, I was present at the time. He told me that it certainly seems like some sort of problem with the paint/lacquer and that his report would reflect this. When he submitted his report to Honda, they then decided to get a second opinion and brought another paint specialist in. He decided that it was all down to stone chips, on the front bumper and two front wings. No mention of the bonnet!!! I have been in contact with Honda, who actually sent me a copy of the 'second' report, however they are very reluctant to let me have a copy of the first report. I have examined these patches very, very closely, the strange thing is, if indeed it is stone chip damage, why has it not damaged the primer. I intend to persue this issue further. I am now awaiting a reply from them, regarding a copy of the first report.
