Most japanese cars paint sucks, if you wanted good paint you should of went with a german car. Hell from day 1 there is a 2 foot overspray mark on my hood. I have to go back to mitsu and get it taken care of or maybe wetsand it down myself.

I got a rock chip at the exact same place as yours and at a similiar mileage as yours.
the paint does suck.

Am I the only person who has never had a problem with my Mitsu? My Evo is great. This is easily the best car I've ever owned. I had no problem with the paint (although I repainted the entire car when I got my body kit). I've had no problem with any other Mitsu components on the car, including the stock clutch and I'm at 30,000 miles. I don't regret my purchase at all.

Clear bra may help stop the rock chips, but it needs regular washing and sealing to keep it looking good.
