Paint runs on the front bar!Dont know if its just this one that got painted poorly, but it was pretty bad that it got painted like that. Really let the car down.You can see the peel under the light in this photo..The paint on my BA is much much better then what this has.So what do you fellas with FG's think of the paint quality? Are you happy with it?

Would hate to see such a thing widespread and detract from what is so far an impressive car.Was bound to happen.I.B.

Have a look at the Nissan Patrol, panel paint is very average, and then the plastic wheel arches are horrid! Expensive Daewoo has always had pretty poor quality paint...As a detailer, were you able to cut it and improve the finish?
