Kia Stinger: Respray promised for defective yellow paint

Kia will shortly contact customers of Sunset Yellow Kia Stingers to offer a full vehicle respray due to defective paintwork, the company has told CarAdvice today. The botched paint is understood to include an oil that causes long-term durability to fail, causing easy cracking from stone chips and other incidental contact. Currently the only Stinger paint colour affected is Sunset Yellow, and Kia will cover the full cost of a respray and also cover the paintwork with a lifetime guarantee.
