Default Just a Note, I got my touch up paint

I thought it was funny that mazda just got around to sending my touch up paint. I have had the car 11 months. I would have rather had paint that didnt chip so easy...

Damn!! I think I got mine pretty quickly... maybe a month after purchasing her?
But I agree. A bottle of free touch-up paint should not be in lieu of good quality paint to begin with. I wished I had know that then, and too about invisible paint protection/bras. It would've been cheap insurance, but instead I'm gonna have to get her painted in the next coupla' years.

Either I am misunderstanding, or you guys are miscommunicating.
Jaime, you're BUYING touch-up paint, right?
Mazda SENDS you a FREE bottle of touch-up, though it seems to take longer these days than when I bought my car.

Well, if you look at the OP in this thread, you will see that it took them 11 months to send it to EC. I've seen other posts that said theirs came in 7 months.
That is a long time, but the few times I've contacted MazdaUSA CS, I've had good luck w/them. 'Even sent me two free "Zoom-Zoom" decals. 'Course they were white. My car is white. My windows are virtually black (95% tint,)and I gave them to a friend w/a Velocity Red Mica 3.
Don't know if you would have the same luck w/MazdaCa or not, but what the heck, try it! What have you got to loose?
