Technical Fiat Paint is Horrible!!!

[Javelina]

My 2014 500L Trekking only has 50k miles but the paint is oxidizing all over the car. Body shop says this is very common with Fiats, they see 2 to 3 cars a day with the same problem!!

$9000.00 to repaint!!!!!

Update: Maaco says all Fiats are losing their paint because they used the wrong sealer. Have to take it down to the bare metal, re-seal and re-paint.

There should have been a recall.

2014 with 50,000 miles. Auto Body shop says all late model years, 2013,14,15,16... have the same problem.

Weve not seen that with the European built ones

So maybe a PPG thing..

Is your car out of warranty already? Have you asked Fiat?
