Lots of paint chips

[dukeofpg]

I have a 2009 GT, Sport Metallic Red and it is just full of paint chips. The front is completely peppered. On the hood there a several chips down to metal. Is anyone else having problems with paint chipping? Will warrantee cover this?

Yeah the paint is craptastic thin. Good luck getting it covered with the warranty.

I would talk to your dealer about it, how long ago did you get it, How many miles on her?

Mine has chips, Especially front plastic bumper dings. The plastic dings very easily. I have literally 1000s on the front bumper. The paint is still there, just plastic is so soft.

One word...Clearbra (is that two words?). For the DD, you can either put a bra on it, or have it painted yearly. Each is probably gonna run around 500 bones.

I have 8500 miles and the car is 3 months old. I now have a clear bra, but I don't want to put it on a swiss cheese paint job. The really odd thing is that chips show up all over the car. From top to bottom, side to side. If it continues, in a year I will be with out 50% paint!! I just think if we can band together, GM will have to listen and do something. (HaHa)

I've seen the paint chip issue on other G8's. I put a clear bra on my car on day # 3 of ownership. I still managed to get chipped on the passnger side fender.

I had my front fascia repainted @ 5K miles and the bodyshop added a "flex" additive. 2,500 miles later, it still looks great. Another SRM owner here....
