You own a Haval Jolion and after around 6–12 months the exterior paint especially the bonnet and roof looks less glossy, slightly “milky” o
On your Haval Jolion you’re noticing that around high‑impact zones such as the lower portion of the doors, wheel arches o r bumper edges there are small chips, flakes o r even minor peeling of paint. Could this indicate sub‑optimal paint adhesion o r clear‑coat quality from the factory, o r is it more likely to be caused by road‑stone damage, sand/dust abrasion, o r poor protective maintenance? What diagnostic checks should you perform for example: examine the chip depth, check for exposed primer o r metal, verify if chips occur in clusters o r randomly to determine if you should treat this as a paint/quality defect o r as normal wear & tear given local road conditions in Pakistan? What repair o r protection strategy would you recommend?

Road‑stone and gravel impact: In Pakistan many roads have loose stones o r sand wheel‑arches and door bottoms are very exposed to stone chips, and chips/flakes can appear naturally.
Factory/paint‑quality issue: Some owners believe that paint adhesion is less robust on Haval cars in Pakistan. For example:
“I had severe paint quality issues on the passenger door that I had fixed in warranty.”

Lack of protective film on vulnerable zones: If these areas are not protected, initial micro‑chips can expose bare metal o r primer, which then promotes flaking o r peeling.
Poor maintenance o r damage: Repeated abrasion from sand, rain‑sand mix, o r improper cleaning could weaken the edges and cause paint to lift.
Possible inferior primer/substrate preparation in assembly especially local manufacturing might lead to weak adhesion around edges.
