Anybody have GM repaint third gens thanks to repaint T.S.B?

Has anyone here had a factory subsidized repaint done on thier third gen? I got the T.S.B number from this site, but have not been able to find a co-operative dealer yet. I am the original owner of my 92.

thanks

C'mon guys, take it easy, not everyone knows how it works.

RenoLeigh,
Those days are looong gone...GM will now tell you that they never even had a problem. That "some dealers were taking care of the delamination on a case by case basis." And that it wasn't necessarily a paint problem. Dealers were just taking care of their customers.
I can tell you different. I started at my dealership about 15 years ago, and that's all we were doing in between our regular collision business. I have a copy of the bulletin released to dealers. I have the corrective reccommendations per GM...All the labor times and material allowances. Its all there. They will warrant against delamination. It's just that they will only back a new car within 3 years and 36,000 miles.
