If they do it correctly and at no cost to me. Then yes. But why should i continue to drive around with failing paint to have to correct myself or possibly be charged for the damages at the lease end inspection just because they didnt want to acknowledge or fix the problem? Besides i fear if it was done through insurance even as a manufacturer issue that the rates would go up so yeah I'd let kia repaint it unless they gave me a better option or buyback+upgrade to a newer better version at the same rate

I don't know if I'd be ok with it. I would prefer a buyback.

Thats if they offer one. Who knows what options they would offer. But we won't know til we make a big stink enough like Australia did. I'm sure Kia wouldn't want to receive alot of negative press about problems after all the public raving reviews its received since its release. But we need to make a big issue til we get KIA attention here in the states

What are the details for the re-paint?

I'm assuming they will repaint it back to the original color with non-compromised paint? Or would they allow it to be painted any color?

Same color and I believe it only applies to yellow at the moment.

I got a voicemail from Kia. They called me about the paint issue, so that's a good sign

So whatever happened with your paint issue? Did Kia fix it?

They did with Yellow. You can get it repainted and/or sell it back to them if you didn't like the results.
