Yeah GM had a period there where they were famous for paint peeling off in big splotches from a black primer, but at least the metal was still covered

Hopefully this bad press gets him sorted out. Wonder if there are any others out there suffering from this same situation though? Definitely a mess up during the painting process & some kind of contamination happened. That is all automated now though, so you'd think there's a few more out there the same. Not like the old days when I was in the booth at the Jeep plant sanding bodies after primer to get them ready for paint Sent from my SM-S901W using TapatalkI watched an old GM manufacturing video awhile back. The guy painting the car without a mask while enjoying a cigarette made me cringe. The guys sanding were maskless too, different times for sure. Wonder how far into retirement they made it.Back in the day GM paint was the kind that you could drive the car for 15 years and after light cleaning it could be in a museum. Oil based I'd guess. My Toyota's finish is trash in comparison.It was the water base coat / clear coat stuff that screwed everything up. Original paint on my 84 Camaro with 32Xk kms shows perfectly, but once you get into anything GM made after the conversion (85? 86?) it's a disaster. Even into the late 90's and early 2000's they couldn't get it right.
