Default Flaky Comp paint, Anyone else had any problems ??????????

Im well fuggin peeved with my satin balck Comp paintwork

Thing is one of the wheels is loosing paint in all sorts of palces, it just keeps coming off in flakes and its allmost as if you can just keep picking at it eventually the wheel will be bare metal

Its almost like they have used WD40 for primer

When i first had the wheels comp told me that because id fitted them to the car there was no way of getting it sorted as they will not take them back once this ahs been done.

Just wanted to know if anyone else has had any problems ??

Sounds like your just gonna have to suck it up then. Get all 4 powder coated for Ł100 and be done with it! Not worth the hassle of trying to pursue Compomotive in my opinion.
