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...... 

 
 

Thank you for your feedback, I will keep you posted on any progress...

There is no cheap paint fix for white diamond.  First of all there is an extra layer of paint that need to be applied and they need to blend it much further across the panel to make it match. Pearls a

I would shop around at different body shops.    Many shops will quote prices from $1200 to $3500.    Keep searching until you find one that says: $300 to fix everything.

Probably not a good idea, that will get you Krylon lawn chair paint and Flex tape.

This is caused by a small rock or road debris hitting the paint. Not enough to chip it, but enough to make an impression or crack in the paint, after that happens its a matter of time before it lifts and peels. My 2010 did this and I had the whole box resprayed in 2014 under the (6 month expired) Symtech paint warranty. After that I saw the paint lifting above the windshield so I traded the truck in. My 2014 WT has peeled about 4" up from the wheel well, starts with a rock chip from the tires. You have to relentlessly touch up the paint on these trucks because it is so thin. That's why you wont see me rolling around with -44 offsets because I have been down this road and you shouldn't have to repaint a 5 year old truck. But its the name of the game now, build them cheaper and charge more. Let the owners put the elbow grease in and more profit to GM. The days of thick oil paint are dead.

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.

In fact I guess this issue isn’t limited to Silverado or Sierra. Look at this one

I also have 2 areas peeling...one on the roof and on the front of the hood.  Purchased used this year with 70,000 miles and I never used a pressure washer.  Roof area started first then just a couple days ago peeled on front of hood.  (Did see a bubbling effect there soon after the purchase).  Anyone get a positive response from Chevy even after the warranty?

Just want to let everyone know GM still is doing a terrible job of painting new trucks. I have a 2017 bought September of 2017  and may of this year paint started peeling off. It is the Iridescent Pearl Tri Coat. GM/Chevrolet/Dealer all want to do nothing about it. It is an on going issue they need to correct. Should not have a truck with over 50k sticker and require a repaint after 3 years 8 months.

Once it starts it just keeps getting worse. I sanded, cleaned, primed and painted these spots on mine just to see what happens before I got a new paint job. Yesterday I was going to repair another spot on a different door and took the air hose to blow off the dust from sanding and about a 10” spot of paint came off the door. It peels off like the paint isn’t even sticking to the truck. Can’t believe GM has never taken responsibility for these paint jobs.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
