Jayw13702 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 My 300h has just over 60,000 miles on it and the front bumper looks like it has 160,000 miles on it Anyone else with the same issues? Sent from my Iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayaans Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Looks like someone has been too close behind trucks on the motorway Lexus paint is soft. Pretty much normal if spending a lot of time on motorways and dirt tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve44 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Yep, same here. I do mostly motorway and at 22k miles and 15mths old, it looks pretty poor. Soft paint and a black car exacerbate the issue, as the pock marks show up more with the white/grey primer underneath the paint. My previous Grey IS300h didn't look as bad. I won't be having a black car again 😊 I've bought a Lexus paint stick and have been touching in some of the larger marks, so it is less noticeable.

Jayw13702 Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Thanks guys, looks like a trip down on the body shop then.It’s a car I bought recently and I had a feeling it was a motorway car, I’m hoping that now I use it for town work it may not get as bad as quickly if I have the bumper repainted Sent from my Iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it is the original paint on the car, there's no evidence of masking etc. Unless someone has stripped the bumper completely before painting, as it was an ex lease car I can't see them going to those lengthsSent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough on German cars but Lexus historically have very little orange peel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. Either way I think a good bumper off respray is in order. Shouldn't be too expensive but will certainly lift the car 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
