Default 2013 gmc sierra paint flaking

My paint is flaking on my 2013 gmc sierra, is there any way to prevent it from going any further till I can get the truck in for warrenty? It's just the color that's going and looks like the primer is still staying on. Any kind of help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
I'll get a picture up ASAP to show how is going

There is no way to stop it from happening... the paint is not bonded to the primer base... its like putting butter in a hot pan and trying to stop it from melting... you can't...
You need to get it in for warranty ASAP and get it all documented...
Where is it peeling from, hood and roof?

Default Peeling paint

I also have a 2013 Chevy Silverado with 8200 miles on it. I have already found a spot of paint peeling off from the inside of the drivers door. I took it to the dealer and the service manager was able to scrape more paint off with his fingernail. They say they will get it in and repaint the entire inside of the door. It also appeared the paint did not adhere to the primer. Is this going to be a bigger issue for these????

What year do you have?

GM really screwed up on paint. It is only thanks to the primer that GM doesn't have a massive rust lawsuit on their hands.

White is the worst for this occurring, with a darker blue being second place. Seen this happen since 1988. I don't have a clue why Chevy has not seemed to be able to address this issue after all these years. My Camaro was silver with no paint problems. Same with my Cavaliers, silver and black, no problems. Current 21-year-old K1500 green, no problems, 2015 silver Malibu no paint issues. I don't understand why white and certain kinds of blues have been an issue for so very long now, but they have.

My Avalanche has this same thing happening. Right above windshield and growing. Now I see the spot is rusting as well. Did you get this addressed by customer service?
