Exactly- I've been restoring antique cars for 40 + years. Base coat/clear coat is all thats used now and I never have a chippping problem. I also have an '06 Impala with 60,000 plus miles without one chip. Chipping on this new Camaro is GM's fault. It's definately a paint preperation process problem and nothing to do with the EPA, etc.
GM will never fess up to this as it would cost them millions. They will probably solve the problem on new Camaros, but they will never correct currently built Camaros due to cost. Just my 2 cents worth.
