Why do Changan Kalam users in Pakistan report that the paint quality fades o r peels off within a short period of use?

Owners complain that the factory paint loses its shine o r develops patches, especially under sunlight. Is the paint not weather-resistant for local conditions?

Yes — this is a common issue.

Owners frequently report:

Loss of gloss

Fading o r patchy paint, especially on roofs, bonnets, and side panels

Causes:

Non-UV-resistant paint formula

Lack of proper clear coat layer

Exposure to extreme sunlight, especially in cities like Karachi, Bahawalpur, and Multan

✅ Verdict: The paint quality is not well-suited to Pakistan’s weather, especially for outdoor commercial storage and usage.
