AGK512 Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I've read on hear about 'soft paint' on the mkv Any ideas if it takes long to 'cure' ? Is it really that soft ? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomme Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Thats odd as i would of thought it would be pretty similar to the mk4, which is meant to have really hard paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac_Terrorist Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hmmm soft paint. Sounds a bit concering. I read about dark shades of Audi's having so called 'softer paint'. I read this in Auto Express following owner complaints of bird sh1t marks spoiling paint work. It was the metallic colours affected I think.

petsy Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 bird droppings tend to be very acidic hence the need to remove it quickly from the paintwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbucket Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Since they were made to remove all the nasty solvents from the paints a few years ago and make them water based, I think all paints are softer now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decked Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 When they mention soft paint, I think they mean it scratches easily especially on the DBP. I know mine was soft on the bumbers (front and back). HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrakeSnake Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Bonnet was chipping way too easily for the first 2 weeks, but i got mine in feb when all those fecking gritters were out. Got the paint shield 3M protection applied to it so stone chips on the front not an issus now. Def worth doing me thinks. Rest of the car doesnt seem to scratch easily any more, tho it has had several layers of wax to protect it now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
