black paint

Has anybody else noticed how the the black painted parts on the i8 appear to mark very easy i.e small scratches ? I have never owned a car that marks up so easy but only on the black painted parts the rest of the car is fine ?

I have one small mark on the black paint.

Does anyone know what the official Color Name is for the black trim? (i.e. what touch-up paint should I buy? Mephisto Black?)

I own no garage queens. If it's in my driveway, it's been ridden hard and put away wet. ...and now, with a light crust of Maine road salt.

I thought it was just me! I have all kinds of minor scratches and I am very careful.

I have two tiny chips on the front top of the left wing. Because the skin is black it shows terribly on the silver


Ordered touch up pen...

Yes I think I am careful when cleaning but I have to say my car has done 4000 miles since I picked it up in March and I think the paint is probably the worse I have seen on any of my cars for marks and tiny scratches
