And you thought Subaru had crappy paint!
 

Customer with an 08 Evolution X MR prepped his car for the track by applying blue painter's tape to his car.

Here's how that plan failed:

wait, the blue painters tape took that off?

How long was it on there? That's crazy man.

that's ridiculous.

I had some of that on my caddy for about a year and it didn't pull paint. WTF.

Was just thinking that if it was a repair paint job... not properly prepped and was still kind of new and the car got really hot then maybe.

But stock paint.... wtf.

thats a respray, that would not thake that off!

Wanna place a little wager on that statement?:evil:

that is seriously ridiculous but from a car that falls apart on the inside after 30k miles I'm not too surprised.

I'm guessing thats the sort of thing covered by warranty?

That painter's tape shouldn't do anything for about 2 weeks

I wonder if evoX drivers use painters tape to repair the snapped clutch pedals


:D

damn... i knew blue tapes are bad... but didn't know it was that bad... if you want to tape up your car, use the 3m GREEN tape.. :)

or the weak crapy seats that brake for no reason

I guess evo owners should fear painters tape on their cars just as much as dried bologna

my girl has a 05 galant and the paint is destroyed! its flaking up all along the door frame and it looks like single stage paint, not just clear coming off! from the factory??? blows me away how ****ty that paint is
