2008 Silverado Rust through Paint
#11
i too have a new 07 silverado, white. 6 months after i bought it i started seeing dots of rust. the dealer said they fixed it but the spots are coming back through the clear coat. i talked to a reputible paint shop and they said the only way to properly fix was to strip clear coat and respray. and to fight gm to fix the problem. this is crap. 45,000 dollar truck and a year and a half later it looks horrible. i only have 26000 miles on it. my buddy bought an 08 white silveado and his is doing the same thing, now what do we do? i live about an hour south of chicago and they first said it was raildust and now they say its where i live, well gosh darnet they shouldnt sell them then.

rust spots on white chevy truck
The rust colored spots on your truck are actually brake dust particles you pick up when you drive in the they stick to the paint and rust. You do not have to get your clear coat redone to get rid of them just go buy a clay bar as a kit they sell them at any autopart store. They will come back the best way to keep it to a minimum is to wax your truck every couple of months. I have a black and white chevy truck and a gold jeep they all had the same problem so i clay bared and waxed problem solved. I clay bar once a year.

rail dust
I have a White 2008 Silverado (5 months old w/3600Mi.) I gave her a good bath the otherday and upon close inspection I noticed all these little rust spots popping up everyware except on hood and front bumper. Can any one tell me what could cause this foowwee soooo soon in a vehicles life? I am going back to the Dealership were I bouhgt her from but I would like to go there with some info (hopefully to avoid getting the run arround) or also known as the dry end of the stif.y! Please any one with two cents send one of those cents my way. Thank you Josh

My 04 GTO did ride the rails and had the rail dust. Why would that not affect all makes of vehicles. Maybe that is why they started covering them with the blue plastic.
