I currently own an 01' Corvette, and I'm thinking about selling it and purchasing an 04' TL. I have had several cars in the past, and none of them really impressed me with the paint. I would say the Corvette has the best paint of any car I've owned to date.

How does Acura's paint compare to other manufacturers????

 

the paint job is def not bad....although i picked anthracite sos it hides alot too....so far i'm happy wit the paint job...but i really depends on the color you buy. the other downside is i've noticed my Anthracite looks really "blue?" in extreme sunlight...but at night its great....i'll say this
currently in my house we have
G35 - paint sucks like no tommorow
350Z - paint isnt that bad...(i dont get why its better than the G35...but mebbe it just Seems better)
ML500 - omg...fuck this car....the paint is horrible a lil scratch goes a long way here
Envoy - the paint is pretty good....not as good as the TL tho
S500 - this paint LOOKS nice..but a scratch costs like 200 to take out
Accord Coupe - not bad at all ~ since TL is Honda....im going to assume same quality
although my friend's RSX paint job seemed really bad.....)

The paint on the body of the car is excellent. I love the WDP. The bumpers are another story. On the WDP, they've a yellow tint. Other colors have similar mismatch problems, though none seems as pronounced as mine.

Have a look:

I'm having them repainted as we speak. I've been down to the body shop to look at their previous attempts and was not impressed. I hope to get it back today, corrected.

Oh yeah, also, my bumpers had small peelings where the fender met the bumper within two months of ownership. I believe others have had similar issues.

 

that's funny i dont have any problems at all with the TL paint job

then again...i take care of my car like every other day...i have nothing left but AP exams to take sos taking time out every other day to wax and clean the car is rare i guess...but yea...if u dont wash ur car alot im sure peeling or rusting starts to happen...although ur TL in white is really nice..but yea i see the yellowish color that's weird

 

the paint on the car is pretty good. i have a few rock chips already, but most modern car paint is weakier now due to no lead in them.
