Paint Peel Problems

[Leon Carroll]

GMC/Chevrolet knew about the bad paint on the 2009 Silverado. Is there any compensation  for this problem that anyone knows about? I've taken excellent care of this truck. It only has 75,000 miles on it. All of a sudden the paint on my hood is peeling off.

No lol

 

All of a sudden, 13 years later.

About the only "compensation" you'll see, is the cup of coffee they offer you in the service department/body shop while they figure out how much they'll charge you for a repaint

Considering the environment paint lives in,,,, and how vehicles are painted in the "modern era" 13 years is pretty good. Your Grand Father's car/truck was painted with what was then called "Super Enamel" or an equivalent. It had high solids and was applied plenty thick. Your base coat/clear coat isn't nearly as thick and grandpa's paint job was. vehicles today last a LOT longer than cars/trucks in Grandpa's day and we had more protection from the sun years ago than we do now. Grandpa never saw a car/truck go over 200 k miles unless it was a summer only never rain/ snow and even then cars with that kind of mileage were extremely rare especially with out engine/transmission overhauls/or full on restorations. the "Task Force" Chevy pickups (1955 to 1959) were designed to last 10 years and we still have them with us and with the original paint. I  would go get the hood painted.
