Ours has a lot of chips in it also. We have one on the roof also. My husband used the touch up paint and it just sucks right into the chip. It looks awful. They are all over the front bumper. We even have a few chips in the windshield. Tailgating is not an option with this car. It does have over 13,000 miles on it but it is not driven daily. It has been on a few road trips. When we picked ours up there were little tiny bubbles in the paint in various spots. We concluded that it added to the character of the car but now they seem to be popping. Really mad and frustrated over this problem. We have numerous other chevy's with almost 200,000 miles on them and they do not have the paint chip problem like our Camaro does.

I noticed a 'paint chip' on my hood but it actually looks like there was a bubble that popped before the paint cured. I also noticed some debris UNDER my hood rally stripe. I'm talking in the middle of the stripe! Now that's quality workmanship!! Oh, and I noticed this when the car had 98 miles on it.

I just have one decent size chip in my front fascia. Probably from a rock.

Since i have had my car which is going on four months i have had many chips. They range all the way from the hood, the front end, the doors and the worst are the side panels right in front of the rear tire. I had the flaps installed to see if that would help any but so far it really has not done anything for me

I have had my Camaro since March and I have paint chipping on the hood, fender wells and y the gills. This is really kinda stupid, and related to paint quality. My '97 Grand Prix GTP I just got rid of for the Camaro didn't have hardly any chips on it !

I have been approved for repair of all the paint, My car will be going to Champion collision for the paint repair and clear bra. When my car gets to his shop I will get the mill thick on my paint and post it. I am scheduled for June 7th. GM has actually been pretty good about this once I climbed high enough into the executive system.
More to come on JUne 7th. |

Funny thing. After reading this thread, I went to the dealer to get my carpet replaced and while I was waiting around, I strolled through the showroom floor. There, just about dead center of the hood of this black SS was a paint chip! This was IN the showroom!
