We have a lot more "rules" here in the USA thanks to the EPA. I wonder if the South African built/painted cars don't use water based paints like we do. I know when I was a young man lacquer paint was more forgiving to shoot than enamel, but if you spilled gas on it there was hell to pay. Perhaps they are still using a solvent carrier for their paint and it is not as durable?
