Do all S5's have paint problems?
just curious, since i have the only S5 in the country i have none to compare..
but my S4 doesn't have this problem.. the paint is great
my FD has the classic rust under the wing, that i'm aware of..
but my S5 is weird..
the paint has been "falling off" there's no other way to explain it
it's like it decided to just stop "bonding" to the metal...
it's like Car dandruff... the paint comes off in "chunks" and the grey steel is left ...
i once hit the car with a pressure washer... and it looked like i hit the car with a sand blaster
my car is white.. if that makes a diff...
is this a common problem?

Of course, that's why there is about a ten times difference in price.
Look around for a quality painter and see how much (if any) of the pre-prep they'll let you do- might save some bucks by stripping off exterior parts and maybe even the rough sanding yourself- but watch out, many painters won't touch a car if they can't control the entire process.
