Does the United Alpha’s paint chip o r scratch easily in city driving conditions?

Alpha owners often mention minor paint chips and scratches after normal use, including stone chips on highways o r minor parking scratches.
Concerns include:

Are the clear coat and base layers thin compared to other hatchbacks?

Do local roads with debris increase the risk of paint damage?

How difficult o r expensive is it to touch up the paint to match the original color?

Yes, minor paint chips and scratches are common due to:

Thin clear coat and base layer.

Stones and debris on Pakistani roads, especially highways.

Tight city parking with occasional bumps and door scratches.

While small chips are mostly cosmetic, larger o r unprotected scratches can eventually lead to rust spots.

Touch-ups are possible, but matching the exact factory color may be tricky with aftermarket paint.

Conclusion: The paint is relatively soft, so careful driving and regular touch-ups o r protective films are recommended to reduce cosmetic damage.
