Rubbish paint again

Congrats! Pics?

 

Not yet... coming soon I hope.

 

OK. I can report that the paint finish is actually above average on my newly delivered Bianco Avus/Cioccolato '14 FF. This is after a thorough inspection by a detailer well experienced in the ways of Ferrari orange peel. In my own opinion, the orange peels is better than my 458 and as good or better than I've observed on Porsches. i don;t have a clue as to why there is such a range of clear coat finish quality, but I am happy that this one turned up OK.

There are only two notable flaws in the finish are:
-- A ~ 3mm chip in the paint on the spoke of one of the wheels. It is possible that this occurred in transit. Should be easily addressed via an experienced touch up.
-- A couple of ~ 1 cm spots in the black leather on the upper dash. I expect this to be addressed by a good leather man employed by the dealer for warranty issues.

So while it is not perfect, I have breathed a sigh of relief that the car arrived without any real major cosmetic issues.

Will post photos after tint/wrap work is finished in about a week. The car itself is gorgeous.

 

Congrats! Glad you're happy and that all has worked out for you! Strange how substantial the differences in finish in cars delivered seems to be with Ferrari. I'm glad to say mine arrived in perfect shape, no complaints whatsoever. Look forward to the pics! Enjoy!

 

I didn't know that. So it fits the pattern.

 

You have leather, you have carbon stuff... what more can you want

 

I've seen way too many costly automobiles with improperly finished down carbon fiber, clear coat runs, orange peel, wheels not thoroughly painted/finished, swirl marks and DA sanding marks straight from the factory. Corners are being cut for the sake of saving money and it's the owners paying the price.

Start making noise about it.

 

reminds me of the old Lexus "ball bearing" commercial -

Everyone know the paint on Ferrari's isn't the best
