Audi paint is not what it used to be. - Mean Gene 4.2 2003-06-30 22:43:14 (23 views)

My only disappointment - stone chips ALL over the front of my S6 - MIS6 2003-06-30 11:27:30 (20 views)

0 Paint chips after 25K, half a dozen or more on my M-coupe in 30K - Zach - A6 2.7T 6-spd 2003-06-30 09:23:38 (16 views)

NO. My '98 Racing Green is virtually flawless after 65,000 miles of Chicago winters. - Ed's A6Q now Allroad 2003-06-30 08:50:57 (13 views)

My Nogaro S4 has like 5 Meeellion tiny chips on the front, but... - alfabutt 2003-06-30 08:20:00 (25 views)

An on the topic of chips- the windshield is even worse. - Ernesto (ERT) 2003-06-30 07:48:10 (22 views)

Yup - horrible pitting. I think the issue with the bumper is the wrong amount of flex additive. - Singletrack 2003-06-30 09:35:44 (15 views)

Yeah- especially on dark color cars.... well OK, it' easier to tell the chips on dark color cars. - Ernesto (ERT) 2003-06-30 07:47:40 (20 views)

No . try throwing a few small rocks at the front of your friends Merc or BMW... - STEVE2.7T 2003-06-30 07:38:56 (23 views)

No chips, 3 years. Audi paint is far better than most. Luster, no orange peel, etc. - Jack Orr 2003-06-30 06:35:12 (17 views)

Quality of paint finish is excellent, good luster, no orange peel, etc... but it does chip easily. - AudiByNature 2003-06-30 06:43:21 (19 views)

no. - Jon C 2003-06-30 06:18:53 (14 views)

DEFINITELY!! I have no less than 6 small chips (5 in bumper, 1 on hood) after 1 year. Not cool. - AudiByNature 2003-06-30 04:33:28 (16 views)

For the most part yes. - Randy Welch 2003-06-29 21:32:05 (27 views)

Yes, IMHO it is softer than others. - 2.7Twin 2003-06-29 21:09:48 (17 views)

cough cough bullshit cough. Show us the pic of the Andorra bumper. It was horrible man. - Singletrack 2003-06-30 09:37:03 (17 views)

BUT!!!! Once it was correctly painted there wre none, and there are none on my 2003 - 2.7tdallas 2003-06-30 11:43:42 (18 views)

The point is that it was like that from the factory. i.e. They have a problem with soft paint. - Singletrack 2003-07-01 05:13:54 (17 views)

BWWAAA! Me? Easy going???? Nahhh..... as far as the paint - 2.7tdallas 2003-07-01 06:06:25 (13 views)

Yeah, could be a port respray, but it doesn't change the fact that the finished product is - Singletrack 2003-07-01 08:50:58 (19 views)

tell them to fix it,. they fixed mine - 2.7tdallas 2003-07-01 17:57:11 (16 views)

Yes. The finish on my brother and father's BMWs is far more durable. - Singletrack 2003-06-29 19:16:14 (57 views)

After all that you run down Audi, why do you have one?? - Jack Orr 2003-06-30 06:36:42 (17 views)

BMW's are just better - it seems especially when you have a "problem" Audi - STEVE2.7T 2003-06-29 20:01:01 (27 views)

I've never said that "BMW's are better", but certain aspects of them - Singletrack 2003-06-30 03:46:09 (29 views)
