had my black l405 for 5 months now and have done about 5k miles, have noticed ive got 12 or so stone chips on front bumper already, showing the white base coat,, paint seems very thin and easily scratched. had a grey l322 beforehand and didn't have any noticeable chips after 30k miles, so much for progress !!

I had Barolo black on my previous L405, the detailer told me it was the softest paint he had ever worked with. I have opted for Santorini black this time but on collecting the car new it had very fine scratches that were visible in direct sunlight with 8 miles on it!

Water based paint on Aluminium maybe?
