Wow !!! thats the same with me peeling in the same place....GM dosnt take care of their customers at all.....paid 53000.00 for a 2014 High Country truck now a 10,000.00 truck with paint falling off ,##$%%

It’s just ridiculous that we are dealing with this and no one wants to take ownership of the problem..I love my GMC but I’m very disappointed also. I went and done post to GMC Corporate on Twitter and they act like they’re concerned..they wouldn’t recognize all the posts of different peoples vehicles..I think I will keep posting pics to their Twitter account..

Here's another one.  My 2015 Sierra Denali.  Same place.  Such BS that GM won't help us with this.  Clearly there's a problem on their end.

If you are going to attempt to fix this yourself do not use the brush on touch up paint. Use the spray can and make sure you shake the hell out of the can to mix the pigment thoroughly. The longer you leave the peeling paint the more it will peel as moisture gets underneath it and forces it to continue to peel.

Amazon.com: Dupli-Color Olympic White Exact-Match Automotive Paint for GM Vehicles - 8 oz, Bundles with Prep Wipe (3 Items) : Automotive 

FYI - $13 a can at local O'Reilly auto parts vs Amazon. Olympic white and Summit white are the same color just different names Chevy / GMC.

Lots of youtube videos on how to fix yourself. Takes a lot of time, patience, sanding, blending which is why shops charge $$$

I have the exact same issue in the exact same spot. I have the premium paint as well (same color). Did anyone ever find a solution to this? I feel as if it is a manufacturer problem!

Everyone has put me off from dealerships to corporate..I tried Twitter GMC Corporate-they replied but took no responsibility. I posted a lot of the photos of other trucks with exact problem which they didn’t like it did nothing..sad because it is a manufacturing issue.

They, along with many other manufacturers, have been having problems for over 30 years since they went to base coat/clear coat. I have personally painted well over 1000 "peelers". I was working at a Chevrolet dealership from the mid '80's through the mid '90's. Me and 1 other painter each had 2 peelers a week scheduled up to a year in advance. They were every model from Berettas and Corsicas to trucks,vans, and Suburbans. The first ones were silvers and blues 2-3 years old. The white ones normally took 5-6 years to start peeling. Gm cut the warranty from 6 years to 5 years, then to 4 years,  cutting out many of the vehicles they were paying to repaint. I, personally, have never seen a red or maroon vehicle peel like the truck pictured above. I can't explain exactly why, only what I have observed. The clear may come apart, but the base doesn't peel, like most other colors. All I can say is the truck will eventually peel everywhere, and the cost to fix it right will be very high. Anything other than completely stripping the whole vehicle top to bottom, end to end is only a temporary patch. Now is the time to decide whether the truck is worth the investment it will take to repair it correctly, or buy a red one

 GM has had many paint issues going "at least" back to the early to mid-80's,back then it was due to bad primer, I ordered a top line Olds Cutlass Supreme Brougham from the factory in 1984, in a deep Burgundy color.A year later, I waxed and entirely buffed the whole car in the shade, and went in for lunch. Came out, and it looked like the neighbour had cut his lawn and sprayed the clippings all over my car.....but they wouldn't wipe off! Why, because they were cracks filled with white wax. The battle between GM and myself ensued, and lasted well over 6 months....I simply would not let go. In the end, the car was in the shop being entirely stripped to bare metal, and just get moving forward, I agreed to pay 25%, while they paid 75%. So I won and lost, all at the same time.

 

Then don't forget the Chevy and GMC Trucks of the Mid-80's for the same reason....driving down the street with dinner plate sized pieces of paint missing from all kinds of areas. Shame Shame!

Well, I know this is an older thread, but add me to the club.  2015 Sierra 1500 in Bronze Alloy Metallic.  I just noticed peeling today near the window on the driver's side rear door.  It's approximately 1/2" in diameter.

Considering age and mileage of the pickup (125K), I don't expect any help from GMC as it relates to warranty.  I see a class action suit has been filed about the issue in Florida, so I've inquired if the firms have any advice.

If there is a newer, more detailed thread, I apologize, and I will look further.  I just landed here with a Google search about the problem.  If anyone has new pointers, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Dave..I have got no where with this problem..I would love to know more about the class action because there is a lot of us out there having this problem. My truck only has 62,000 miles and it’s like 8 inches long, so disappointing they won’t do something..it’s obviously an issue caused when they painted them on the line.

Anyone else having issues with the paint peeling off your truck?  My 2014 has started to peel and when I contacted GMC they said it was my problem and refused to help fix it.  The dealership wants $1700 to paint the entire door.  I haven't even owned the truck four years.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

This is how my 2015 looks. Exact same spot. Anyone know if GM will now fix the problem with their malfunction.

[EmmDee]

Same sh*t ..same spot

[th3r00st3r]

Sam issue here. 2016 Summit White 1500 Silverado. 

The other photos on here horrify me as it's a precursor of things to come. 
What the hell GM?

[sputzke]

I have a 2014 Sierra with the Tri-Colour White and it started on my rear passenger door. I thought it was rock chips since I didn't have splash guards so whatever I found a shop that would paint that door for $400 CAD. Now my drivers side door (same as everyone else) and my drivers door post is now flaked probably 45-50%.. How can GM turn a blind eye to this??

My paint is also delaminating at my back driver side rear door . I just got a estimate from Hedrick Chevrolet for 2581.00 to replace trim and repaint GM initially told me they would take care of it if the dealer ship diagnosed it as a factory issue and then said they might pay for a some of it know I have not heard back after getting the estimate.
