Will anyone help me and give me some answers on my paint chipping?

[Jbcamaro]

Okay here it goes, I have a 2010 aqua blue metallic camaro and I just got it in April . I'm 19 so I really don't know much about it. The car is certified from gm as well. When I got the car it was in great shape with 7,200 miles on it, no signs of hardly any scratches or anything. A few weeks later I start noticing anew chips on the hood, front fascia, on both of the doors, mirrors, gills and back. Then I was coming out of Walmart 2 months ago and noticed that my paint looked like it was running down on my back bumper. And it is, it's the way it was painted and I have no idea what to do about it. My front fascia now has a crAck where the top and middle sides meet and it is starting to chip as well. I was just wondering is it too late to do anything about this although I bought the car used? The car now has 15k miles on it. Any help would be appreciated guys!

How am I f%^k#d if you dont mind me asking? And I can't just stop driving the car. I've got a job and I'm paying for the car still. I'm not like most young guys and have parents buy it for me. I got out and worked at an early age got my summit white one in 09 and sold it to get my aque blue one in April. I felt like I needed more responsibility in my life so I got an ss this time instead of 2lt. I've taken great care of the car. I just never noticed this stuff till a few weeks after I got the car. I don't drive fast believe it or not and I don't hot rod the car either, I try to take care of it as best I can then I get a piece of sh%!

Why not take it to the dealership?

I'm afraid the dealership Wont do anything about it since the car came from a dealership in Michigan . So yeah this sucks

What??? And....what?

Don't follow cars so close....if the paint was great when YOU got it and now it isn't then seems like the way you are treating it or driving it is the culprit. There aren't any widespread paint chip issues that I am aware of but you never know.

I kept the car in my garage til the first wash then when I washed it I could see all the paint chips. What I'm saying is the car looked flawless til I actually started looking at it. And there is a place on the back of my bumper where it looks like the paint ran when they painted the bumper. That's what I've been trying to say. It's nothing I've done to the car

Any dealership will look at it regardless of where it was purchased. It is still under warranty.

If it were my car I would start with taking it to the local dealership. Doubt they will do much about the chips but at least have them look at the bumpers.

Good Luck

Sounds like there may have been some previous paint work done on it, based on what you say about the rear bumper. Did you happen to see a Carfax on this car prior to purchase? If not, maybe order one.

You never know what can be done until you try.
