Excellent customer service by Kia to repaint the cars. Compare that to Ford with the Focus/ Festiva transmission saga.

Wonder if Stinger steering fails mid-corner?

How many VF's have had the steering actually fail?
A few have lost power assistance, but you still have a direct connection from your hands to the front wheels.

i have never had any steering problems with both our vfs
for a car to be repainted as per factory standard is a big job , all glass removed, trim, lights grill ect
most likely kia will just do a mask up car yard special repaint job
if i paid 50k plus for a car that needed a repaint , i would want a new car or full refund

Are we talking about the Stinger yellow paint thing, or the VF optional black roof thing?

They have also said they will buy the car back if that is what you prefer.

Will Stinger GT flog a ZB Commodore VXR?

Had a few chuckles at some of David Morley's mildly dry backhand compliments.
He sounds like a cynic after my own heart.

the black roof option on the vf was painted on the production line, no glass or trim ect was fitted, black roof painted as a bare shell
any car that's in need of being repainted, to do the job properly needs the glass trim ect removed
50k + for a car that needs a complete respray,i would not be happy forking out that much for a car with rubbish paint, i would want a refund
quality does not match the price so much for the rice
long live the king

And who says they're not removing screens when they do the respray Option? The cars would go to professional panel shops. They've also, as Noeleter said offered to refund the cars price.

We already know how many people have been let down by multitudes of quality issues on Australian built cars and then let down again by lacklustre warranty response.

Lacklustre warranty response - Holden as an example?

Yep, definitely!

They just painted the black right over the original paint & the plastic roof-rail trim. That’s exactly why I raised it. One of the guys on here had some photos of their newly-delivered car, pretty sure it was Jungle Fever, and all the paint was cracked around the sliding plastic part you move when fitting roof-racks & you could see the black paint bridging the gap between the painted-over roof-rail trim & the metal.
