I think this whole issue would be resolved if the dealer had merely said "We'll repaint it, and make it right"

Not "We'll offer you $3500, find someone who will make it right for that price, oh and your paint warranty is void"

It appears to me that the only way you would find someone to make it right for that price is if you have a good friend who paints cars professionally and gives you a great deal.

To me this information he has indicates that the car was repainted, or just not cured properly at the factory. Most likely a repaint. Then it was sealed and waxed too soon causing the delamination.
And furthermore, the only reason GM would pay for the repair is because it was wrong from the factory.

If the dealer screwed it up, GM would tell them to fix it on their own dime.

I don't see how GM is responsible. The accountability falls on who ever repainted the car.

Dealers have to get approval from GM to fix something that failed under nomral wear and tear. Not for something they break themselves...

Please lets not turn this thread into a bash GM thread. Lets focus on how car owner can sort out the best course of action.
