Car repainted under warranty?

I was wondering if anyone ever got to get their car repainted because the paint faded due to fallout. Is there a recall by Acura about that at all?

paint fallout refers to the painted muffler. I don't know why Acura choose to paint it, but over time it peels. i am not too worried about it

The paint on the body does fade also.

I don't think ANY car manufacturer would ever issue a recall for re-painting a car. That is a HUGE amount of work....think about it. If the car has any kinds of defects in the body then those must be addressed first (wet sanded, compounded, etc...) then the entire car must be stripped of emblems, everything must be taped and then the paint procedure begins.....

I would love for Acura to have better paint, but it will only be fixed on new models if more people voice their opinion about cheap paint.
