The 2016-2020 Porsche 718 Cayman Peeling And Chipping Paint Symptoms And Resolutions
Owners of 2016 to 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman have reported issues with the paint, most frequent of which is paint layer chipping off due to road debris. Paint peeling away, often revealing the primer underneath, sometimes happens during cleaning or regular car washing. There have been some reports mentioning additional paint issues; the Porsche 718 Cayman does not suffer from widespread, class-action-level paint peeling or chipping defects straight from the factory. The reports we do see from owners and consumers center around what appears to be instances of clear coat failure or poor primer adhesion occurring. What we have found more often than not is peeling paint on these vehicles is almost always the result of some kind of previous repairs, environmental damage, or improper aftermarket detailing using products not approved to work on the paint and finish.
While any repair should be covered under warranty, there is a long list of steps an owner can take to prevent this kind of damage. Installing a paint protection film (PPF) like a clear bra is recommended for areas like hoods, bumpers, and side skirts. They will prevent chipping from road debris as a rule. Installing aftermarket or Porsche-provided flaps can also help prevent debris from damaging the rocker panels. Heavy stone chipping is a common reality on the 718 Cayman, particularly just ahead of the rear wheel arches, where the body design includes a flair out. Because they sit low to the ground and have wide rear tires, this area gets heavily peppered by road debris and is often mistaken for a paint defect. Get it looked at by the dealer for certain if it occurs.
