Can't wait for paints to start bio-degrading in about 10-20 years.

Much like MB's bio-degradable wiring harnesses from the 90s.

So if you think your paint looks like shit, then you are correct?

That's one thing about modern water based paints that drives me nuts (others being how soft and thin they are). There's just so much orange peel and it doesn't matter if it's a $25k vehicle or a $150k vehicle.

First the Aliexpress glue-on screens with ID8. Now cars painted from waste.

Good grief.

You should read the article. The paint is 100% chemically identical. The petroleum-based precursors are just sourced from biomass instead of fresh crude oil.

Renewable raw materials such as bio-waste or waste from sewage treatment plants serve as the starting material for the paints
Kinda gives a new meaning to shitty paint job. The new vehicles I've seen seem to have excellent finish on them. Interestingly, some of the more economy brands of vehicles are being rated as having the best paint/finish. The finish on my '21 Miata is exceptional quality.

"Is that bird poop on your car?"

"No, no, that's stock "


(yes, this is obviously in jest in case someone feels inclined to tell me how inaccurate I am)

Exactly. I think it's pretty awesome, and definitely not a bad/negative thing for BMW
