2020 Portofino - repaint required

That's very unusual. Wonder if there were contaminants left on the metal before it entered Paint? To be sure, this is a major issue for you for diminished value. If it were your garden variety Honda, no big deal. Unless they strip all the paint off, it will increase the thickness of the pain on the door, which is probably around 1.5 to 2.0 mils, and make it double that. If anyone puts a paint depth meter on the car, that's usually indicative of an accident repair and you would get questions about that - so keep it documented. First thing I would want is a bare metal repaint to keep the thickness down. The next issue is paint match, reds and silvers can be difficult. Can they match the paint without having to do the whole car? You won' really know until you get it out in the sun and step back twenty feet from the car.

 

Seems to be more common on the F12 due to galvanic corrosion on one screen.
This is first time I can recall hearing of this issue on a Porto or Cali.

If it’s being done by a proper shop I would not worry. For me at least paint is nothing to worry about if done correctly.

I have had many cars with paint problems repainted. It happens.

A good painter will paint your car better than factory that’s for sure.

I’d try squeezing them to correct all the paint at the shop as a freebie for the inconvenience. Than the car will really pop and look like it should - flawless.

This.

It is not uncommon with paint defects. Plenty have repairs and corrections done, and it will not affect value. Nobody will check oaint thickness on your doors when the car is sold, and if they do, there is no accident or damage report on your car.

I will strongly advise that drcollie's advice and recommendations is taken with a huge load of salt. He is not an owner, never has been and has previously proven himself here on FChat to be very untrustworthy.

I have had my cars touched up for a few reasons and never a problem.

Most important thing to note is this. OP, once it is done, get your car fully paint corrected. There is a good chance that the new paint will be a lot better than what is on the rest of the car. So by getting it cut and polished you end up with a proper match. It will look better than what it looks like coming off the line.

Good luck. It will be okay.
