Just washed my truck and the paint is peeling off!!!

[GMcD]

Just washed my new to me truck and i noticed black flakes on my micro fiber mitt. I started figuring out where they were coming from and my freaking trucks paint is flaking bad! This is the first time i have ever washed it (just got it Monday!!) and im in disbelief. What are my options here? It wasn't like this when I bought from the dealer on Monday!!

The paint on these trucks suck. You drive on any gravel roads? May want to consider line-x the rocker panels to prevent chipping

This truck has only seen asphalt. No gravel, no dirt. I used a very good car wash with a clean micro fiber mitt. I almost feel like the dealer some how masked this and it all came off on the first wash. This is crazy!!!!

Get it properly refinished by this shady dealer ASAP....

Are you guys able to access the picture in the link i posted?

Unfortunately the dealer is almost 5 hours away. I texted the sales guy tonight who obviously denied they did anything like this. This is not a coincidence that this magically happened on the first wash!!

Is this a 2014 ? They had a peeling problem in the gravel gaurd area

[GMcD]

Yes, 2014. This is on the drivers door.

Almost looks like it had some gravel rash and they touched up up with some paint and it's now coming off. Hard to tell from pic.

My truck is doing the same thing. I think they just have terrible paint quality. My lower doors look like that after the first wash, I thought it was just a couple of rock chips, but it's happening all over front to back. Less than 3k miles on mine. I also noticed the top of the fenders and the hood is bubbling and flaking off all over the place. I'm going to take it in and have them fix it, I can't fathom GM getting out of fixing it. It's not even time for the first oil change and the paint is failing? Craziness.

This is a Characteristic of the truck. Move along lad.

Nah, jus messing with ya. It's the new eco- groovy water based paints. Your ugly paint job is saving the planet.

Anyone have any pics of there black silverado with linex or similar material about 3" wide from the bottom?

I doubt that the paint coming off on your first wash of a used vehicle has anything to do with the quality of the factory paint. Go back to your dealer and have them repaint it properly.

Im in talks with Modern Chevy now. Hopefully in the end they will make it right. Ill keep everyone updated.

You should check the CARFAX. I would bet this is a repainted panel that was prepped inproperly
