Clearcoat Peeling Issue - Help
1 Attachment(s)
Hi,
I just took over someone's lease and noticed the front bumper clearcoat is peeling significantly. It is a C250 4Matic 2011. Is anyone else having this problem? Do you think Mercedes Canada is liable for this poor paint job? Any warranty? Thanks for the help/input! Attachment 449157 |
On a 2011?? That should definitely be covered under warranty.

Are you sure? It looks like there was a bubble between paint and the clearcoat that probably got hit by some road debris. Instead of chipping, it popped the bubble. Now with snow + rain the filth goes between those two layers and make the clearcoat peel and it is a non stopping process until the whole bumper becomes without clearcoat it looks like :S
|
Paint and clear coat are covered. Scratches and dings aren't obviously, but peeling yes. The bubble, if there was one, shouldn't have been there in the first place.
|
Unless it was repainted by a Non MB endorsed shop I'd say they are liable for it through warranty. My clear coat on my drip rails started peeling and they replaced them no questions asked.
|
Thanks for the replies. I'm going to give them a call tomorrow and see what they say about it.
Cleanbenz you make a good point. Is there a way for me to find out this is an OEM paint or if the guy before me got the front bumper repainted and failed to tell me about it? |

How long is the paint job covered? My is just out of warranty.

Are you sure it's not an applied clear bra?
|
What does a clear bra feels like?
The first layer is very brittle in the sense that if I touch it, it just cracks into pieces. If it was a protective film, I don't think it would behave this way? I called and they are closed for holidays... Will have to wait tomorrow. |
