What makes the factory paint flake off on my 92 Olds Cutless ?

Question

It started on the hood ,then over the next 3 years ,it now includes top of front fenders and now lower door aero trim

Answer 1

It was a factory flaw in the painting process that GM had with several models of Olds, Buick and Chevy. A few years ago they ran a recall on that...but I have a feeling you are past the deadline for submitting a claim (you can always check with a GM dealer). Otherwise, you will need to incur the expense yourself of repainting the car

Answer 2

The paint flakeing could be caused by the car being out in the sun all the time. It doesn't matter if it factory or aftermarket paint, the UV from the sun drys out the paint causing it to fade and peel/flake off. If you get your car repainted, my recamendation is to try to park it out of the sun and if no place like that is avaiable, invest in a car cover. It may be a hassle to deal with and a few extra minuites out of your day, but it will help prolong the life of your new paint job. best of luck to ya, laterz.

Answer 3

certain, is plausible, to sand and prep the flaking factors comfortable as you are able to, and therefore best the bare metallic, and then, a minimum of positioned some spray paint, as on the fringe of matching colour as you are able to. that is a non everlasting fix, and could very last a even as. yet a specialist activity is a ways more effective. no longer that i'm promotion.
