    The grey paint on my sx mini m class comes off very easily just from fingernail scratching--under the dark grey is a lighter grey that looks ok..so im gonna have to scrap it all off. anyone else have this? IMAG0118.jpg

    I think @haybilly had the same issue...mine (black) is ok but it's been covered by a sleeve since I started using it.

    Have you taken this up with the supplier or Yihi? They had a problem with the coating on the first batch or so.

    I don't have SX mini but this happen to my IPV Mini as well.
    I scrap the colour coat out to the material surface, in beginning it seem to be okay. Nice urban look.
    But after a while, metal smell come out. May be because of corrosion things.
    So I wrap it again with thin film, the film that use for wrap smart phone wrapping.
    You could try mate.

    I have a couple of non-OEM sleeves from Ginger Vapes...camo & black. Let me know if that's of interest. :)

    Same problem here. Black originally but now the silver underneath. Not even scratched just came off with use. I must have real rough skin. Lol it was perfect with no flaws when I bought it from a member on here though. Just thought I would put that in there for when they read this. Lol

    Yes, SD is right--one of my 2 SX Minis, and I believe that it was the earlier models, had the same problem--my second one has yet to start to do it--but, it's being treated like a baby--the first one seemed to reach a point where just the edges had lost the coating and the rest was fine--I didn't do anything and just used a silicone sleeve--but, then I sold it to '@oil'--not sure if it's got any worse since he's had it, maybe he can tell us himself??

    It's a shame because the finish on the S-Class wasn't the best (mine was pretty good but many had problems with theirs).
    For $200 it's something that certainly needs to be addressed.

    I'd certainly get on to YiHi about it, although you buying it for a non-MAP price may be an issue with them replacing it direct.

    Maybe @Per - Pink-mule could shed some light on the subject.

    Yes, I wonder whether that is Under Warranty?
