Why do Honda City owners report weak paint quality and early fading?

Many owners complain about paint chipping, fading, o r peeling, especially in harsh weather conditions. Is Honda using lower-quality paint for locally assembled models, and how does it compare to competitors like the Toyota Yaris and Suzuki Ciaz?

Many Honda City owners in Pakistan report issues like paint chipping, fading, o r peeling, especially in areas with harsh weather conditions. This issue is often attributed to the lower-quality paint used in locally assembled models. Honda’s local manufacturing process may cut costs, which can lead to compromises in the paints durability and finish compared to international models. In comparison, competitors like the Toyota Yaris and Suzuki Ciaz often use more durable paint finishes that hold up better against UV exposure and extreme heat. This weak paint quality can be more pronounced in areas with high heat, dust, o r pollution, leading to faster fading and deterioration.
