My paint looks awful and the only way to fix it is to paint the car. I have seen many other cherry colored pilot's with the same issue. Honda needs to address this and fix it.

Pilot EX-L 3.6L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

The paint was obviously chalked, dull, no shine, almost tacky to the touch. Interestingly, one door panel was shiny. In the right light, it was obvious the problem had affected the whole car, except one door panel. I took to the local service dept, and they said it was normal. I took it to the preowned sales department. They also said it was normal. I took to a local body shop, and he thought that a door panel had been replaced, BECAUSE IT WAS SO MUCH SHINIER THAN THE REST OF THE CAR. I went back to the Honda preowned sales dept, and I insisted there was something wrong with the paint or clear coat because it had absolutely no shine at all. They never admitted that I was right or that there was anything wrong with the paint. However, they had their detail department give it a full buff out and polish job at no cost.

chalky

Pilot is noticeably faded. Waxing doesn't last long. I live in Florida BUT the SUV is kept in a garage. I had a 2001 Honda Odyssey for 10 years with 200,000 miles on it and had no problems with the finish or the car-just wanted something new. Didn't expect this finish at all!
