Paint quality from Audi?
Quick question? How good is the Audi Paint? I have a tiny chip already all the way at the front edge of my hood. (no big deal I will touch up paint and detail in a couple of weeks) Considering the brutal winter we had I expected this but just want to know how I should expect the paint to hold up for future?

That being said you went through one harsh winter with only one chip i would say it is holding up pretty well.

The car paint started peeling off in both of my front fender on the inside border where the wheel stands. My Audi dealer is going to take a look and we shall see what they can do for it....

I hope this doesnt start becoming a normal thing. I mean yours is the first but I want to see in 2 years how everyones paint holds up. Maybe for the first time i shouldve went to my tint guy and had him do clearbra application... Hmm Maybe after touch up and detail. Hoping these cheaper based paints arent a ploy for clearbras becoming a standard thing/.

Oh god another thread to start panic and over reaction...
The Audi paint is wonderful in terms of industry paint comparisons - I have seen it in yearly comparisons between top japanese and other German cars and have found it to be extremely above average - but come on - a rock at the right speed and angle is a rock... Not really a way to judge paint quality
