Paint system

Does anyone have the factory specs for the paint on the 2011 Camaro, a link would be good as well if possible?

I have read that there are some issues with the paint adhesiveness but I didn't see anything about the paint and clear coat being too thin. I noticed a spot on my rear bumper today that appears to be the primer showing thru the paint. Also noticed some orange peeling along the quarter panels. I have seen this on some refurbished cars and a lot of Navy helicopters that was due to the paint being to thin, not mixed properly, or incompatible with the primer. I would like to find out the thickness of the base coat and the primer color and/or type for each color combination so that I can do some investigating before I take it to the dealer to get fixed.

The plan is to compare my paint thickness with the factory specs. A thin paint and/or clear coat is very bad for longevity. I also would like to figure out what type of paint and primer were used on the car. Not all primers and paints are compatible with each other. I believe that any of these issues being present would be cause for GM to repaint my car. I can deal with a few paint chips over time but the primer showing thru the paint is where I draw the line.

Thanks for any help that you can give.
