Euro Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 its GM's crappy primer they used in the early 90's. It happens to 95% of every car/truck/van/suv that GM painted white in that time frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 My 1988 GP was grey and had HORRIBLE!!! paint. Peeled like a mofo.. The paint on my 95 is very good, except for the spoiler which peeled but I just used a couple cans of colormatch and it looks good now. FWIW on some of the newer Centurys I've seen rear bumper paint flake too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THe_DeTAiL3R Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 I must have one of the 5% cars I bet people that bought paint protection when the car was new are laughing their asses off now! Well worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
