Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN 2016 AS A FEW PATCHES OF SLIGHT DISCOLORATION, WHERE THE PAINT APPEARED LIGHTER OR DULLER THAN THE SURROUNDING AREA. EVENTUALLY THE CLEAR COAT STARTED TO PULL BACK FROM THE CAR AND CHIP THE PAINT. THIS CONTINUED TO GROW INTO A FULL-FLEDGED PEEL-A-THON. THE AFFECTED AREAS ARE THE HOOD, FENDERS, AROUND THE GAS TANK, THE TRUNK AND THE ROOF. THE PEELING IS NOTICEABLE, GROWING, AND NOT A FUNCTION OF NEGLECT OR ABUSE. IT'S LIKE THE PAINT WAS NOT PROPERLY APPLIED OR THERE IS SOME MANUFACTURER ERROR THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM.
