Damn Van Nuys Paint!
in 1995 my 1992 firebird was repainted under factory warranty due to the clear coat cracking in various places.
well, they didn't repaint the whole car. the spoiler had one small crack when i bought my car in july, but the winter killed the whole clear coat on my aero wing. here are the pics:





i'll have it repainted soon

My GTA was repainted in 1996 under warranty by the original dealer because of paint issues on the spoiler too. My paint is totally sweet now but the dealer put the fender emblems on in the wrong place
Oh well, I fixing that in January finally...

Man.....they should of done something about that. My 89...believe it or not had the same prob. It was mostly on the sail panels.....the clear was all fading. Got that all done over with when i had it all repainted back to the original factory color.....after about a month of me chewing the auto body guy out to try and find the ORIGINAL color sceme....he claimed that they didnt make the paint anymore....and that just did not sit to well with me...so i decided to find the paint myself....which i did..
