Example complaints

“Paint on the cars' roof and trunk is severly ashy white and peeling. I have noticed that this is a common problem with lebarons around the same year. Mine is a 87. Possible bad binder in the paint, bad primer, or moisture during setup is the cause. Will the company fix this problem? It's a beautiful style car and the paints appearance really hurts it. Thankyou.”
