Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

You are correct, I've never taken much notice my tiguan is black so the grey doesn't stand out as much.Originally posted by Hillbilly View PostMY18 Tiguan R Line Black-162 Highline TSI

Car manufacturers having been doing that for at least 30 years that I know of. The first time I saw it was at least that long ago and most probably longer. Primer is porous so it must be a better primer than what goes under paint normally.Comment

Reason I mentioned it is because my Polo and the Passat appear to be fully painted and not obviously lacking in that. In my Tig you can virtually "see through" the coating it has . Looks like a one coat spray can job and is a flat rough finish whereas both other cars have a gloss finishOriginally posted by Ozsko View Post2021 Kamiq LE 110 , Moon White, BV cameras F & B

My Mazda 3 is the same inside all the door jambs too. Very noticeable as it has the deep gloss cherry red exterior (and those bits don’t).

Our '10 Multivan T5GP has the thinnest coat of paint and the underside of the bonnet is primer only with overspray from the top
Clearly cost saving.
At this stage of it's life the clear coat on the bumper is peeling and there are so many nicks, scratches and marks around the outside (parking a giant van in and around schools doesn't end well sadly) it could really do with a full respray, but it's just not worth it.
If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.Comment

Cant fault paint on rest of car as I got hit by a bloody big stone on l/h roof near the front and figured I would have a dent it was so loud.
Havent managed to find any mark even anywhere so it must have been round and bounced.
Have tiny chip in silver strip under headlight though Obviously from a stone2021 Kamiq LE 110 , Moon White, BV cameras F & B
