ON MY 08 HONDA CIVIC SI IN FIJI BLUE PAINT, THE CLEAR COAT IS DETERATING ON THE ROOF AND NOW WHEELS ARE PEELING CLEAR.. MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT AND WELL MAINTAINED. I DID SEE WHERE HONDA WOULD REPAINT AFFECTED AREAS, SO ON MY LAST VISIT TO DEALER I ASK THE SERVICE LADY TO PLEASE PLEASE FIX. SHE INFORMED ME THAT SHE WOULD DOCUMENT SAID AREAS AND E-MAIL ME WHAT TO DO NEXT. IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS WITH NO SOLUTION. I HAVE MET A COUPLE OF OTHER HONDA OWNERS THAT HAS HAD THE AREAS REPAINTED. SO I DONT KNOW WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. I DID SEE THAT THESE CERTAIN COLORS WERE IN A CAMPAIGN FOR THIS REASON. I WAS INFORMED THAT A DEADLINE WAS PLACED, BUT IS THE DEALERS DISCRETIONON WHICH CARS TO RE PAINT AND SINCE MY CAR IS GARAGE KEPT THE SPOTS ARE NOT AS LARGE AS OTHER PHOTOS IVE SEEN. BUT LATELY IVE NOTICED AREAS ARE GROWING. SO I GUESS IM ALSO ASKING ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO GET THIS RESOLVED..I DO LIKE MY CAR. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP.
