Causes & Types of Auto Paint Defects

Vehicles in Florida are at risk of a wide range of auto paint defects. Some of the most common are:

  • Cracking and Flaking  – These problems can occur when paint is not applied properly, or the wrong type of paint is used, the vehicle is exposed to extreme temperatures or temperature fluctuations, or it experiences repeated exposure to salt air or salt water, humidity, snow or ice, rain, wind, sand, or UV rays.

  • Bubbling or Blisters – Extreme heat and prolonged UV exposure can cause paint to bubble or blister.

  • Corrosion and Oxidation – Corrosion and oxidation occur from UV exposure and exposure to chemicals, pollutants, toxins, and environmental elements.

  • Scratches and Swirls – Scratches and swirls can result from the use of improper cleaning tools, products, or techniques, as well as accidents or exposure to bird droppings, dust, dirt, road debris, or other damaging elements.

  • Chalking or Hazing – Chalking can result from prolonged sun exposure, excessive rain, heat and humidity, salt water or air, and temperature fluctuations. Hazing can be caused by improper washing techniques or the use of harsh cleaning products.
