Faker Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Because it's cheaper to do a shit job that only lasts as long as the warranty.But that doesn't make sense... God knows what it cost for a main stealer to repaint this thing... but I bet it wasn't cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hooli Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 But that doesn't make sense... God knows what it cost for a main stealer to repaint this thing... but I bet it wasn't cheap! But how many did they sell without repainting? overall the profit is higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilA Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I would post my car but it's kinda cheating. The original lacquer came off, the paint underneath burned through, it was repainted with no lacquer coat, then all that burned off. Last time I used the jet wash all the paint came off the hood and I was left with undercoat and rust... Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bunglebus Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I often see "carteracts" like that and wonder how the fuck people see where they're going at night. I polish my Passat's lenses regularly and they're still bloody awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
