I Hate Acura/honda Paint Jobs
I have a WDP 2005 TL and while driving it home from the dealer I got my first rock chips on the front bumper....
I am one of those crazy guys that goes NUTS over scratches, etc. and it really bothers me that the paint is so cheap and flimsy on these cars. Just yesterday some idiot opened his door and hit my door knob and obviously that got chipped too...funny thing is that there doesnt seem to be many layers in their paint. Just one layer then the plastic/aluminum shows....
I have removed my plate from my bumper, and today I noticed 2 small bumps of paint in that area...now that shows how bad their paint jobs are! I want to know if I can go to the dealer and ask for a repaint due to bad quality of the original paint job?
Also I want to go to the dealer and ask for a repain of the front and rear bumpers due to mismatch in color...
Can anyone give me some advice? I would appreciate any kind of feed back.
Thank you

1-800-382-2238. That's the phone number to Acura Costumer service. You can try the dealers first but I wouldn't bother with them. They only sell and service the cars. Except for regular service of the TLs they won't help you much. They will only help you if they are forced to from Acura. I also have a WDP and I notice my bumpers are a little off on the color. I think I notice it more than most people since it's my car. I will probably end up calling Acura and complain till I get something done.
Here's a link to another thread with the same paint match problem

There are lots of threads about the quality/durability of the paint. Here is one - https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=114926
It's also been a known issue about the mismatch of colors on the bumpers and the rest of the car especially on WDP. Talk to your dealer first and if no action is taken, call ACS as King of Pain indicated.
As far as paint chipping from road debris, I would look in Paint Protection Film (PPF) commonly known as clearbra. Use the search feature for more info on all of the topics.
