I have a red GR, and my mate has the grey one. I’ve noticed that the inside of the doors, bonnet, and boot lid on my car seem to be lacking lacquer. Is this something common to all GRs, or is it just more noticeable on the red?

Pic below - it’s worse in reality:

Yes this is normal and only affects red cars. The red is Subarus Tri coat finish, it uses 2 layers of red before the clear coat is applied. In the case of the engine bay door shuts etc, they don't apply the second colour of red, I don't know why, but it has clear coat.

Inside my doors are lacquered. Boot and under bonnet like most cars for cost savings are not lacquered. Sapphire blue. Batch 2 , October 23

Cheers for the answer. I can understand the boot and bonnet lid, but the inside of the door is just strange! Cost saving gone mad!!
