PROBLEMS IN PAINTING IN A NEW YARIS - Toyota Yaris Forums

giomxxx · 09-03-2020, 05:33 PM

I live in Greece and on 14/4/2020 I bought this car from an official seller of TOYOTA HELLAS. The car has a six-year warranty from TOYOTA EUROPE and TOYOTA HELLAS.
Yaris 1.5lt 5D Y20 Edition, 1F7 SILVER ME
VNKKG3D320A191142
2NR7184826
After a thorough inspection of the car, the following defects were found in its paint:
Hood has one spot with a pimple.
L/H front fender has one spot with a pimple.
L/H Roof side rail reinforcement has one spot with a pimple.
L/H Front Door, the external surface has three spots with pimples.
L/H Rear door, the external surface has one spot with a pimple.
R/H Rear fender has one spot with a pimple.
R/H Frond door inner surface has dents and wrinkles in the paint.
L/H Front door inner surface has dents and wrinkles in the paint.
Trunk door inner surface has two points with pimples and imperfections.
Roof external surface has two spots with pimples and imperfections.
R/H front fender has a spot with chromatic differences inside the paint.
R/H centre body pillar has five spots with pimples.
L/H centre body pillar has four spots with pimples.
The spoiler has one spot without paint.
R/H front door frame has eleven spots with pimples.
R/H rear door frame has nine spots with pimples.
L/H front door frame has ten spots with pimples and imperfections.
L/H rear door frame has eleven spots with pimples.
R/H rocker panel has eight spots with pimples.
L/H rocker panel has five spots with pimples.
The trunk door frame has two discoloured spots and two points with imperfections and pimples.
At 87 points of the car paint, there are defects that need repair and repainting.
There is no surface of the car ( interior and exterior ) that has no problem with its paint.
Toyota has not given me any responsible answer. I have parked the car in a closed parking lot and I use a taxi.

The thickness of the paint throughout the car is 0.12 - 0.13 mm.

You didn't notice the paint issues when you bought the car? But, yes, the dealership should have noticed these defects. It sounds like the car was repainted. When you say "pimples", it sounds like fisheyes, caused by contamination on the body before the paint was sprayed. Any chance of some pictures? I'd love to see this.

I did not see the defects when I received it. How can I upload photos? Can I send them to an email?

Pimples or spot or blackhead or zit, small lump.

UPDATE 5-3-2021: After a long time, TOYOTA HELLAS proceeded to exchange the defective car with a simultaneous order in my name, with another new Yaris car.

^^^ Great!

There is no denying that Toyotas are the most reliable cars on the planet... sadly with probably the worst paint in the industry!
