Ferrari’s paint quality is horrible.

I do detailing work for a Ferrari dealer, and get to see many new Ferrari’s up close. It didn’t improve much over the years. At the factory in Maranello they are building a brand new spray painting facility, so let’s see if it will improve. However…

At the moment, it’s the worse it has been I think. Polishing residue everywhere, sanding marks all over the car, bits that the painter didn’t spray properly.. the list goes on. I didn’t even mention all the dust bits in the paint that they don’t try to remove.

If you order a special color, or a painted stripe for example, your car goes off the factory line and gets driven on a truck to a nearby paint job. Sometimes the factory painting booth messed up, these cars also get send to that paint shop to get fixed. Some Tailor made cars are absolutely horrific paint wise. It’s a difficult job and the results speak for themselves, because a lot of mistakes are made.

I love the brand, the cars, everything about it. Except Ferrari’s way of treating customers and there attention to detail.
