i got some chips.. even door side and I have never banged the door into another car.. my dads camaros looks like the paint is rubbing off on door side. it doesnt seem like a chips seem to be rubbed off its smooth. and there a spot with a dip in the paint on my car..

i think one guy got GM to repaint his car. but good luck trying. Im going to bring up with my dealer but not going to bother fighting.

One or two chips is normal and sometimes you cannot avoid those bigger rocks that kick up. But geez, do I have to drive my car in a giant bubble?

I hope they make good.

Ok everyone,

I have an appointment with the GM rep over at Paramus Chevy on Route 17 where I bought my car. I will be meeting him this Friday, between 3pm and 4pm.

If you are having problems and want him to take a look also, it would only help all of us, because they will see it is not just my car, and that there is a real problem. I am hoping that the car just needs another coat or two and so they won't have to strip it.

Think of this as a "Faulty Paint, fix my car now, GM!" kinda meet.

I have a ton of little scratches by the gills, the first time I saw it I thought it was just dirt but it wouldn't come off. I ordered some touch up paint hoping that they can be removed... I figured this was just my problem

I have small chips also. Plus a nice big one on hood. This paint is got to be the softest. My 02 trailblazer is holding up better then this camaro paint.

Having a problem with fine scratching. I just Scratch-X the hood today and about 50% of the scratches came out. I might have to do it a few times, or take it to be compounded. As per the chips, I cannot touch up 30 chips, it will look worse. So they likely have to repaint the car and add another couple of coats.

I have a Yukon and it has been put through this horrible winter, and it may have one or two chips at most.
