P1000 Camo Paint Peeling Issues

[Marty_Graw]

Hello All,
I am considering purchasing a Pioneer 1000-5 in camo and in my research I have found multiple complaints regarding the camo paint/wrap peeling off. Has Honda fixed this issue in the newer Pioneer's (2020 - 2021)? Any info anyone can provide is much appreciated...

My 2016 is peeling badly. Don't know if it's been fixed yet.

Purchased a 1000-5 in 19. Asked dealer about the camo. They told me to stay away from the camo because of complaints about it peeling so I went with black.

I haven’t had my 2021 long but no issues yet. I have drug through a few bushes and it seamed to hold up well. There are a few places under the hood that you can see white where the camo didn’t take.

I haven't had any issues with my 2016.

Thanks for the replies. I'm curious to know for those of you who have not had any issues with your camo paint/wrap if any special care was taken to prevent the peeling issue? I met a gentleman recently who has a Pioneer 1000-5 in camo (2017 model I believe) who had a considerable amount of peeling. However, his paint peeling was caused by using tractor degreaser and a pressure washer to clean the unit. I take care of my stuff pretty well so not sure if this is something I should be worried about. However, when spending this kind of money I want to know that that it will hold up well over the long haul. I really like the camo version of the Pioneer but not sure if it is worth pursuing if this issue is wide spread. I have looked at the Polaris Ranger 1000 xp and Kasawsaki Mule Pro-FTX all in camo but really like the Honda and prefer it over the other two. Thanks again for everyone's insight...

I know it doesn't hold up well on the ATV's. I personally think you'd be better off getting one with colored panels and spending the extra cash you'd pay for the camo on a quality vinyl wrap for it in whatever camo pattern you like.

The Phantom Camo seems to be alot better than the old Pre 2014 camo. That stuff peeled off sitting on our showroom.

No special care here, usually just a power washer,might get a little soap a couple times a year. It is garage kept. I bought camo so it would look good with a little dirt on it.
