paint issues

I have noticed that the clear coat on my new GMC Sierra is very soft, It scratches easily just trying to wipe something off.. has anyone else had same problem ?

I havent really found that to be an issue...

Orange peel. Now thats an issue.

I have a 2019 Sierra and find just the opposite. I come from many Ford F150’s that seem to have much softer paint. The GMC doesn’t swirl nearly as easily as the Ford’s did.

Mine is very easily scratched as well.

I had a Black 2015 and now a Black 2020 and have not had that problem on either.

I'm about to paint correct mine tomorrow, I think it scratches very easy as well.

Some of you may have seen a post on a gmc FB page, but I have 1800 miles or 3000kms on my AT4 and there's lots of paint imperfections. Not at all impressed

Painted bumpers have always been a problem on these trucks.

In regards to the rest of the paint...it’s no better or worse than any other robot painted, water based, mass produced, non-luxury vehicle I’ve owned.

Scratches easy is a relative term. If you go wiping bird crap off with a paper towel, sure. If you keep a good wax on it, and strictly touchless or two bucket hand wash it, shouldn’t really be an issue. Adjust your technique.

Ran griot's 3 in 1 across the entire thing and wow. All swirls gone paint looks amazing. Black AT4 by the way.

i had an F150 ruby red... and now have an '18 slt. i had a lot more touch up spots on the ford than the gmc... i also have an E350 in the garage that has 70k miles and only a couple of marks - not chips up high... gmc probably better than ford in my experience but not close to the e350...

Same here. The most recent F150 that I was referring to a few posts up was also ruby red. Beautiful color, but the paint chips were ridiculous. My Dark Sky SLT so far has much better paint.
