Does the Changan Kalam suffer from poor paint quality o r thin coating from the factory in Pakistan?

Some owners claim that the factory paint lacks thickness and durability, making the car vulnerable to scratches and early deterioration. How valid are these concerns?

Yes, many owners and local auto painters suspect that Changan Kalams factory paint in Pakistan is:

Thinner than industry average

Lacks clear coat durability

More prone to scratches and swirl marks

These concerns are valid, particularly when compared to brands like Toyota o r Honda that are known for more robust paint layers. Changan is a budget brand, so cost-cutting in paint material is likely to maintain affordability.
