Nissan paint has similar issues. Worse on the electric blue color. Nissan claims same as GM. https://www.carcomplaints.com/Nissan..._peeling.shtml

I don’t think that painters tape should be taking off the paint like that. I ended up having hem remove all the paint and primer Dow to the metal. They even went back and removed the paint that they had put on because they didn’t even trust the Chevy’s primer. All said and done, I will never, ever buy a Chevy or GM vehicle again because they said all the paint problems were caused by a rock hitting it. That seems the go to answer they give people with this problem. The van I am looking at does not have pain t issues now but it sounds like it can happen at any point so I will pass and look for any other color but white. |
Peeling paint
also someone could have had the peeling part repainted in order to resell it. |

Do you guys know what years were affected by this issue? I am looking to buy a 2013 GMC Savana in white and want to know if I should avoid the color in general or if there is a cut off when this was addressed at the factory?
Thanks

Update January 2024 after a cold spell
My paint saga continues since it reduced the van to nearly no trade in value. I still have the van. All panels, doors, roof, etc peeling. This is some before shots. Right before I rolled on White Gloss Rustoleum. I didn't even bother sanding or feathering. So over it. I just continue advertising GMs fine product.
I told them they would lose a lifelong GM buyer. There is a new (new when I bought it) Mercedes Sprinter van parked in the drive next to it. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/chevrol...3cc590222d.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/chevrol...30dbdabd91.jpg |

Did you ever inquire about the cost of repaint? How are you liking the Sprinter? |
Bad Paint lead me to the Sprinter
GM spot repaired due to my Corporate complaint at about 4 years old. It looked beautiful. I should have dumped it in that time frame.
It started peeling again at 5 years + 1 month. They wouldn't honor the repair or any further help. It only gets worse. No rust because I am in Las Vegas. But it comes off in big sheets every real cold spell. I have had estimates to remove the glass, etc. Chem strip and repaint $10K. Even half that doesn't interest me at this point. The first thing major that fails I will be done with it. Love the Sprinter so far. Its a 2019. The paint is staying on it so far. LOL. I did a DIY conversion on it. Shower/Toilet, solar, fridge and a lot more. Its a high top so I can stand in it too. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/chevrol...6f0f8d7934.jpg |
I wonder how much it would cost to have a van wrapped in plain white.
