I have heard that the EPA is making GM use water based paint on there cars and trucks it is very soft and thin paint. I dont know how good a muscle car would look with mud flaps. I guess ill 3m like everyone else.
What power does the EPA have to regulate that. Aren't these cars painted and assembled in Canada? Are you referring to Canadian enviro regs.

Does that mean that GM has recognized the problem. More importantly, does that mean it will no longer be an issue in the future? I'm hoping to order a 2011 as soon as possible, but this paint issue has me worried. My parents have an 05 Mustang, and it only has about 2 or 3 paint chips (in 5 years). Based on what everyone is saying, the chipping on the Camaro obviously isn't normal.
