I would agree with this statement. It's actually not thin when you consider the thickness/effort in filling in various chips. If anything, it might be layered on too thick, thus it's prone to more chiping. I'm no paint expert, but I have painted some cars before and I know there's a fine line between not enough paint and too much. I don't know for certain, but I don't think the factory uses a two-part catalyst (i.e. urethane based) paint system. If they did, the paint would be more chip resistant. If they are using a urethane-based paint, then it might be on too thick.

But would have to agree that the factory finish on an SPF roller is fantastic.
