Euro Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 its GM's crappy primer they used in the early 90's. It happens to 95% of every car/truck/van/suv that GM painted white in that time frame Quote
Pabz Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 Happen to me, sand it down to metal, trust me!!! Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted January 24, 2006 Report Posted January 24, 2006 My 1988 GP was grey and had HORRIBLE!!! paint. Peeled like a mofo.. The paint on my 95 is very good, except for the spoiler which peeled but I just used a couple cans of colormatch and it looks good now. FWIW on some of the newer Centurys I've seen rear bumper paint flake too... Quote
1990lumina Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 I must have one of the 5% cars Sand it down to the metal and respray everything...only way to do it Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted January 25, 2006 Report Posted January 25, 2006 I must have one of the 5% cars I bet people that bought paint protection when the car was new are laughing their asses off now! Well worth it! Quote
