Paint bubbling on GT3RS rear wing

[angelus666]

Hey, so I've got some paint bubbling on the rear wing of my lava orange gt3rs, and from what I can tell online it's apparently a fairly common problem (porsche used a different primer that has a habit of going bad). OPC Cambridge say the warranty doesnt cover this because it's not a metal panel.....is this true, can't see what the difference is, paint corroding is paint corroding to my mind.

Has anyone else faced a similar issue and had theirs done under warranty?

That sounds like a lame excuse from OPC Cambridge. I'd try a few other OPCs and see what they say. Hopefully it gets sorted for you.

Agreed. OPC are playing hardball. Their take is the whole nose of the car doesn't have paint warranty as well?? Maybe try another OPC. Does the wing have PPF applied?

[angelus666]

No PPF applied, and no paint dings/chips to build the argument of water/moisture ingress. I'll try another OPC and see what they say.....ideally someone on here has had similar and had success, a previous precedent is always a good starting place with these things.

Agree, if the paint is factory paint and your car is still under the corrosion warranty and the paint in this area isn’t chipped why shouldn’t it be covered.

Poor reply from opc in my opinion.

Probably down to lack of experience within.

[GT4RS]

Ask for it to be put in writing to directly Porsche and ask for a copy of all correspondence from the opc to porcshe.

BMW were excellent on warrenty.

Porsche say no and work from there.

I like the cars but the service is miserable. West London take the honour as the most miserable.

I ended up buying a new 911 from Guildford as w London didn’t return calls. Reading ( same group - the irony ) we’re excellent with warranty and service.

Good luck.

I had a bit of rust on the door of a Macan from a stone chip. Dealer refused to cover the cost of repair, so I called Porsche uk and they paid the bill for me. Probably worth calling them.
