I want to start off by saying how much I love my Camaro......BUT the other day while washing it I noticed a rock chip right in the middle of my hood...so while checking things over I discovered the paint on my bumper was peeling off. Just keep an eye on it. I took it to my dealer and they are getting it fixed because mine had a dent when it came of the truck which they are fixing too......(not from the trucking co. either). Just a heads up..not trying to cause a panic or start anything.

500 miles the first 4 days.....absolutely love driving it and seeing the looks on peoples faces. I have had so many people come up and ask questions and tell me how awesome it looks.

WOW, you caught a rock already. That sucks.

Nice feedback. The only way to know if there's a trend is mentioning it.

Rock Chips Suck!!!!

The only solution is to never drive your car. Good luck w/that.

I believe the OP's warning is about the paint peeling off the bumper, not the rock chip.

Steveo2424 - Can we get a picture of the peeling paint?

Makes me miss the old paint. Todays clear coats look better but man they just don't hold up. Can you imagine laying on the hood of your car with today's paint? (or thin ass metal?)I guarantee poor bumblebee got scratched up at the end of the movie. (and thats without all the action scenes!)
