The blisters are starting to show on passenger door and some areas that they say wouldn't have been painted at the same time as car, some plastic bits. Car was bought at 6 months old as an ex demonstrator. MB dealer that sold car have said it had no paintwork done or issues.
The paint manager at MB could find no evidence of any paintwork being done, so its unlikely. The high readings were all over the car, which would mean it would've needed a full repaint, which seems highly unlikely and would mean MB dealer I bought off are lying to me.
That deterioration does not appear to be the same as the micro blistering on the Fire Opal Red that you have read about, and I've never seen a post about Designo white failing. To me it resembles damage caused by some sort of chemical fallout. I say this because I use to see this on cars parked near a factory when equipment failure occurred. I wonder whether the car has been contaminated by something and has been redone but not correctly, hence the paint thickness. A very strange one and someone back down the line is not admitting what's happened. No doubt MB will continue to fob you off, but continue to press it.
Thanks, trying to find out the name of someone senior at MBUK to contact. May seek some assistance from citizen advice or rouge traders type setup. The problem is that they’ve sent some report to Germany, who are just saying nothing untoward has happened when made or in transit to the dealer. All just trying I swerve responsibility and leaving me feeling stressed and worried I’ll be left with a very expensive problem to fix
Dealer to too far to be able to pop in.
