scott13SHO Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I've had my 2013 SHO for about a month and half now and finally got around to doing a good detail on it this weekend....and I've noticed that the Ruby Red paint on the car, well kind sucks! I already have a couple chips in the paint and I've found alot of small paint flaws in the paint. Anyone else notice this with their cars?

mjhpadi Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Don't know about the Ruby Red, but I was pretty impressed with the Candy Red Metallic...when I first detailed it the paint was better then I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
interceptor Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I almost purchased a red '13. The red paint looked pretty good on the car I almost bought. I ended up getting white from another dealer via a dealer trade instead. Quite honestly, the red paint looked a lot better than the white paint on the car that I purchased. Heavy orange peel which seemed more noticeable on the white along with the dealer installed swirls and definitely a few flaws here and there. I had a clear bra put on my '13 before it saw any miles. Hope that helps with the paint chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timeless Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Will have to take a good luck on my SHO, but I did not see anything terribly unusual. Seems all these cars have orange peel like paint these days...probably the result of EPA regulations. Had one paint chip on the driver's side passenger door that I made them put on the lease agreement so there would be no issues later.

Harmon Rabb Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 My black (the metallic black, whatever that's called) doesn't seem to have orange peel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
