What paint warranty? It covers factory defects, plus I think it ends at 36,000 miles with the bumper-to-bumper coverage. Where is it cracking and peeling?

Paints good on mine except the hood, in which it looks like someone took a shotgun to it. Damn rock chips!

I had the same problem. Installed carbon fiber hood. Problem solved.

this is some warrenty of the paint for clear peeling and cracking and such. hondas have this problem a lot its called checking. its where the sealer underneath the clear and base starts to lift....unfortunately the paint on the cobalt i think on my 09 was only warrentied for the first 12000 miles. i have not had any issues though. anything ever been repainted?

Did you wash the car with dishsoap? This would kill the paint. Use car wash soap and wax the car every 6 months to a year.

the front bumper and drivers fender has been painted...
to the dishsoap comment, all the bodyshops i have worked at used dishsoap and we never had a problem. this looks like too much hardner was used and it shrunk the paint... looks like if gm wont warranty it im going with a highrise. and getting the trunk painted with the rear bumper...

I'd ask how often is it sitting out in the sun? Did you keep it waxed? Also what color is it? I've heard black is the worst. Mine sits out in the sun year round and it is about 2 years old. So far it is still perfect. I try to wax it twice a year.

its black, hence the username. i dont have a garage yet... its in the works.

i will take it to the dealer on tuesday to get it checked out and see what they say, as well as have the recall done on the ps motor. and drop the bumper, and side skirts off at the bodyshop to get painted.
