  1. How about this link? https://www.carcomplaints.com/Chevrolet/Silverado_1500/2014/body_paint/defective_paint_job_peeling_paint.shtml has anyone had any luck? or any discussions about lawsuits? i would like to know if anyone has made any progress or joined some class action lawsuit?
  2. In fact I guess this issue isn’t limited to Silverado or Sierra. Look at this one
  3. I don’t know. Here’s a few others I just searched on YouTube. Guess it’s not just white and I distinctly recall seeing one video where a guy was literally vacuuming the paint right off the body. Vacuuming. It’s crazy. While there may be some rock chips that occur, the paint shouldn’t then flake off like a hard boiled egg shell. It should be adhered to the surface. Something is wrong.
  4. I think you should still contact GM... at the very least to just complain and hopefully they would document yet another paint process issue. They can’t ignore this forever. The previous generation work vans... they have major peeling issues. If not GM issue, it’s GM paint supplier issue. The base coat (Or primer, not sure what their paint process is) is not bonding properly to the ecoat. I don’t know what the issue is but they need to figure it out. I don’t know if I regret making my attempt to fix it. I’m more mad that it happened in the first place. I truly am curious if this is only a white issue or if it’s another color. I’ve looked around in parking lots to see if others have this issue. It’s also hard for me to give you feedback about whether or not you should have it repainted. As you said... if it fixes your current item, will it happen else where? It’s a tough call, and I really wish you the best with what you decide. I’ve had this thought that I could two tone paint it... the entire top of the cab with a plastidip black. But I am really nervous that the plastidip will peel the the paint more. It seemed to peel off just like an eggshell. for me, I’m just going to keep driving it and try not to worry about it anymore. What makes me really mad is I really wanted to get the 3.0L diesel. But I’m at that point where I don’t want to reward GM with anymore of my money. I have mixed feelings......
  5. yes, same. I would like to add.... when I did start to touch up paint, I used an AC Delco stick with a small brush, the pen included clear coat also. When I started the process, as I brushed on the base coat product over the ecoat body, the existing topcoat layers peeled off. It kept peeling as I kept trying to touch up, it was a nightmare. and as I said the same thing is happening around the windshield ..... you can see it pretty clearly between the glass and the frame.
  6. It Looks summits white to me. I have a summit white truck with the same issues the photos above. In fact, I will attach a photo I took about 1 year ago. Since then, it’s got worse and is on both sides. I tried touch up paint, Doesn’t look great... And now.... Also.... it’s peeling around the windshield. I’m pretty pissed off, probably my last GM vehicle. GM won’t do anything about it. In fact, the woman told me that paint peeling on my truck was the first time they have heard of it. I’ve seen YouTube videos of this issue, so GM is full of it.
