I don't understand why everybody is commenting badly on Subbies paint. I drive our family Fozzie for 5 years now. I always get compliments from detailing places where I take it about the quality of the paint and coating. And especially, how good Subies coating is.
Let me tell you one story that happened few years ago. We parked at the beach, near HalfMoonBay, CA. If you've been there, you know that some parking spaces there are tight. I parked too close to a white pickup truck. On our way back, as I'm opening the car and help kids to get in, I notice a scratch on the front right fender. Scratch looked bad, dinting the metal sheet and exposing white undercoat (my car color is not white). I'm thinking, damn you, truck! But of cause he is gone. Well, later that day, I washed the car and as I inspect the dent, something did look right to me. The white strip on the dent didn't look like my undercoat.
Guess what? It was that trucks paint. I easily took it off with a cloth, and to my surprise my clear coat wasn't damaged! Now I hava just a small dent, which you'll not notice anyway due to original color of my car.
I have no idea, what happened since 2007-2008 Subie production painting process, but I have zero complains about its quality.
When I checked out SWP BRZ Limited at the dealer, paint looked exactly what I have on our current Subie. So, I don't understand you guys. Maybe non-JDM Subies have different paint or coating, but our Fozzie and upcoming BRZ are both made in Japan. Maybe that's the difference.
