Re: Mist metallic green paint

Thread moved and reopened.

There were a number of complaints about the paint on the G1 RL. Most of the information I've seen about Honda paint is that it's very soft because Honda tries to be a green company. I don't know if that is an answer or an excuse for paint issues. Personally, I've never had any issues about the silver paint on my RL and Pilot. But I know there may be those who tend to look at paint with a more critical eye than me.

I purchased a 2017 Honda Ridgeline rtl-t mist metallic green truck on 07-02-2016 in the evening time the very next day when the sun was out the paint job looked like it clouds in it, the paint looked bad I notified Honda and when I went back I looked at another one that they had on the lot and it looked the same exact way I've nevered seen a metallic paint job that looked so bad I was told that it was some kind of flattner that added in that particular color that makes it look like that. Have anybody experience this?

Pics do wonders now a days to hold your story. Makes it worst that your a first time poster with a complaint around here, so lets see them pics before and after and all will be good. I like that green color, its on the color list IF I buy one.

Re: Mist metallic green paint

I noticed it when I saw the first ones out east. I never gave it any thought until now. I have never seen it before. Does any of the other metallic colors do this? I know that the white is very difficult to match if required.

Re: Mist metallic green paint

I've noticed quite a few brand new cars from several different manufacturers (including Mercedes and Audis) with evenly spaced slightly lighter and slightly darker vertical bands in the paint down both sides of the car rather than an even coat of metallic paint. They look like 'tiger stripes' down the sides of the vehicle. It must have to do with the more environmentally friendly paint and/or robot applicators. I've mentioned it to several folks in the automotive and collision repair business and it's apparently quite common.

I went to a shop that only use the new water base environmental friendly paint and he assured me that he wouldn't let nothing that look like that leave his shop,he told me it's a quite of few things that could have caused that,either the mixture of the paint are the speed it was sprayed.He also told me that most of the major car and truck manufacturer try to use the least amount of paint that they can use on a vehicle and some colors required a heavier coat and this can possibly be one of these colors.

Most factories have switched from airaprayed paint to a bell system. The bell throws paint on the car without air thus saving them over spray and materials. A lot of time there is just not enough coverage and on some cars it looks like light and dark striping. Hyundai had it all over there cars. I can't believe Honda is going this cheap.
