paint
Paint is any pigmented liquid, liquefiable, or solid mastic composition that, after application to a substrate in a thin layer, converts to a solid film. It is most commonly used to protect, color, or provide texture. Paint can be made in many colors—and in many different types. Paint is typically stored, sold, and applied as a liquid, but most types dry into a solid. Most paints are either oil-based or water-based and each has distinct characteristics. For one, it is illegal in most municipalities to discard oil-based paint down household drains or sewers. Clean-up solvents are also different for water-based paint than they are for oil-based paint. Water-based paints and oil-based paints will cure differently based on the outside ambient temperature of the object being painted (such as a house). Usually, the object being painted must be over 10 °C (50 °F), although some manufacturers of external paints/primers claim they can be applied when temperatures are as low as 2 °C (35 °F).
My paint that’s come off … it’s not a chip looks like it’s just flaked off … is this a thing ? Was advised on a outhwr group this is a warranty issue … if this correct ?
I have an MGZS EV in Dynamic Red (2020) I have a couple of scratched that need touching up, I've tried ordering a touch up pen / paint, but keep getting the same reply from Mg dealers advising that MG have stopped suppling certain touch up pens / paint, unfortunately Dynamic Red is on the not...
Hi everyone,
Had the misfortune of someone swiping the car with a handbag or something of the like the other weekend.
I ordered the official Pimlico Blue touch up from the dealer and have attempted to use it.
I feel I may have made the issue worse. Although I'm not sure it's the right...
Hey all,
Didn't know if there was any existing thread for this but we have an order for the MG ZS EV LR Trophy in Red. We went with the GardX paint protection.
Just wanted to know if its actually worth it?
Can I get this done at a later date with someone else?
We were charged close to £250...
I intend to keep my MG ZS EV Trophy Connect for at least as long as the 7 Year Warranty.
This being the case, can anyone recommend a good paint protection system ?
Finally decided it was time to clean the car having been away for Christmas, 800 miles of motorway grime!
I was rather upset to discover several marks in the paint (Piccadilly blue) that are through to the white (?) under layer on the bonnet.
In all the cars I have owned I don't recall so many...
Touch up kit from main dealer seemed a good idea to touch up a couple of stone chips on an otherwise unmarked Dynamic Red ZS. Two parts to the kit and each bottle covered in what I thought would be instructions until I got home and found nothing more on bottles or packaging than multilingual...
I have noticed a blemish under the paint in the roof picture attached. Supplier sent me to body shop who polished it and it looked much better but they said they couldn’t guarantee it would not show again in colder weather. I have had my car a month now and have several chips showing down to...
My #teamred is 6 months old and the paint luster is fading already, so I am considering getting it detailed and treated. Anyone have a view on paint protection (ie ceramic coating) in particular:

how much did it cost
would you recommend
Lastly any recommendations for...

Picking up my new car next week. Being offered Gen 3? Had this before and wasn’t very pleased at the price or quality.
Anyone else have a better idea please.
I only noticed today - with the front doors open if you look at the back edge of the front wings there’s not much paint on them - it looks to be mostly primer? Is this normal? Both sides are the same so makes me think its normal. The rest of the paintwork and general built quality looks great.
These costs apply to both the Excite and Exclusive versions.

Anyone else not happy with paint chips? My car seems to chip right into the metal very easily. Bought it in December '19 and already has more chips than I think it should have. I've only done 3500mls.
