I own a 11 plate red Audi A5 and I can honestly say it has the worst paint job of any car I have ever owned period.
It has had the front bumper repainted under warranty and now I have to pay to do it again, the paint just seams to drop of in pea sized lumps right down to base coat, the clear coat is a disaster and I don't have a clue what to do about it

A friend of mine has a blue (I don't know what 'blue' Audi calls it) 2014 TT and his paint also etches far too easily.

Have you ever tried nano coating? It's definitely the top option to safe car's color. You can read about it here.

Oh... Personally, I believe that there are a lot of advantages of such things! It blocks out some types of sunlight from reaching the interior of your car and, as you understand, it helps you maintain a cooler temperature. You definitely need to read this article to learn more about everything there. Besides, it will help you to protect the interior from fading and damage. I hope that it will help you

You know, my observations show that modern cars at least in 50% of cases have this or that problem with either paint or body zinc protection. I have my own warehouse business for which we buy different cars https://www.truck1.eu/material-handling-equipment like handlers etc. And I just hear the conversations or see how much paint we order. So what I mean is that I recommend you to buy a used car and forget about those paint issues. You can do it at the same site.

Anything can happen, if you are buying a car from abroad, so in order to me sure and to avoid such a problem, I suggest to check the car history at the official website, that provides all the important information concerning the car. The service has a really effective database where is all the important information concerning the repair, car accidents etc.
