Cheers chap!

You have to major that in the claim. The fact that it's not an isolated problem is all part of the proof that it is a recognised and proved paint fault. The USA has done that for everyone. Just because it is the USA does not make the paint fault any different from any other country that is...

Its not an isolated case. As they have proved in the USA it is a paint/manufacturing fault. Whether that be application/adhesion/pigment or whatever so on and forth. Interesting though and I feel the teeth are being sharpened in the UK as well.

Thanks for making that clear @whitenemesis it is indeed rust. Visual inspection and checked tick boxes though will have little to do with a paint fault from manufacture as much as they try and pull the wool over our eyes.

Cheers! Mercedes UK Fire Opal/Mars Red 590 Paint Fault

Micro/moisture blistering leads to sheeting. I had no option, after trying/communicating with MB UK for over a year, to take this to the small claims court. It's called getting their attention. MB UK are awful to deal with. I had letters being ignored for months and always having to chase up...

Will be interesting to see how The Sales of Goods Act, Goods Fit For Purpose, fits in here because the paint so obviously is not fit for purpose. The USA may have different laws but they have proved beyond doubt it is a paint fault from manufacture, this does not change in any country. A paint...

Hello Chris, could you send me the document please? I'm in the process of replying to MB UK' defence in the county court against my claim so all the ammunition i have is a bonus. Thanks. Phill . [email protected]

It's a globally recognised problem. Hello Chris, could you send me the document please? I'm in the process of replying to MB UK' defence in the county court against my claim so all the ammunition i have is a bonus. Thanks. Phill . [email protected]

Would be interested to hear what you would say in reply to the six points MB UK have made in their defense, would you like to read them? If so kindly reply to my email [email protected] and I will fwd them to you. Thanks. Best wishes. Phill.

Thanks for your input but sorry, it's not. The paint has been inspected by a MB approved repair shop. It's the classic Fire Opal Red paint fault and micro blistering. The sheeting you see is a gradual result of micro blistering. The car has been measured with a paint depth gauge. If your...

Thank you for your reply @markjay. Very informative and straight to the point. On the same hymn sheet.

August 9, 2018 — A Mercedes-Benz Mars Red paint defect lawsuit alleges the clearcoat is prone to peeling, bubbling and flaking in models built between 2004 and 2017. Mars Red, also known as Fire Opal, is a paint manufactured by PPG Industries that identifies the color by paint code 905264, while...

Thank you everyone for your replies and input. The fundamental point that this case is built upon is that MB globally has admitted to this paint fault. MB UK has already been repairing/repainting owners cars under 'goodwill' or warranty. One of the most valuable points I have picked up on is...

I've recently made a claim through the county court for my Mars Red /Fire Opal Red [code 590] C220 cdi. Mercedes are going to defend the claim in full. I do not hold out much hope but at the end of the day the USA has set the ball rolling. A recognised [by Mercedes] paint fault is not a...
