it shouldnt just flake off thats an issue. bring it to ur dealer and show them it has no adhesion. but **** will rust if u dont put touchup on it so take it to dealer ASAP, or touchup it now. touchup can be removed with thinner so its not a big deal

Definitely take it to the dealer. GM vehicles have a 5yr/100K warranty on the paint finish...

Mines peeling at the bottom of the drivers door and the underside of the hood. Not
to bare metal but the colour coat is seperating from the primer. I talked to a buddy who used to be a service manager at one of the GM dealers that got closed down and he told me whether it will get waranteed depends on the dealer. He told me not to use the dealership in my town because they almost never cover it. I am going to try the one near my work instead.

The clear coat is peeling under my rear window, the paint under the spoiler is a damn mess and a section of my hood is starting to get tiny bubbles in it. None of it is really noticeable, but its only going to get worse and will eventually need to be taken care of.
