I went out today and took some pictures of the van. I tried but I don't have a clue on how to post them for you.

Hi, I am new to this site so not too familar with how to posts pics. I believe each of us has a page for each member where you can place a pic in a photo album. Perhaps try there.
I really appreciate this as I am going to buying one soon (silver) so I want to make sure that I look carefully to ensure the car I buy does not have the paint issue.
Thanks!">

It is critical to view the paint in different lighting conditions as they have a tremendous affect on finish appearance.
One side of my rear bumper was horribly mismatched from the factory - but you can only see the problem in bright sunshine.

You hit it right on the button on this one. When we bought our van we didn't notice any problem with the paint for almost a year. We thought it was perfect. In the summertime when I stopped for gas one evening, the sun was shining directly on the side of the van. I came out of the gas station and walked towards the front of the van and noticed all these dark spots/blotches all over the side. I couldn't believe what I saw and checked it out for about 10 minutes. I was pretty choked that the paint was so lousy for a Honda product. A customer saw me checking out the van at different angles and came up to me and said "I see you noticed the blotching in your paint also, my wife's is silver and is just as bad". We talked for about 1/2hr and we were both really pis...ed off. Bottom line is that when it's overcast outside you will NOT notice anything at all, everything looks as normal as can be. BUT, when the sun hits it just right and you view it at the right angle you will see that it's just awful. Next time you see a '05+ silver or gold Odyssey on the road drive up beside it, stay a few feet back and you will see what I mean.

I can't even figure out how to PM on this board. This is the first time I encountered this on a board.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to PM or post pics here?

I will have to definetly look carefully on a sunny day. Is your Ody a silver as well or gold? Weird that I have not seen this on the Odyclub forums. I hope it is not a common thing and that it is fixed for 08. I would be very upset like you.

Ours is gold. On Odyclub type in Paint Issues in Search and there are tons of threads about paint problems.

Oh, it's not just silver and gold that can have problems. My Touring is dark blue and the mismatched bumper section appears purplish in bright sunshine.

Button of My CarSpace on top of the page
Each member should have its own page to post on picture album there. After you uploaded the photos, find the URL address, then you post the link here.
