NBS paint
Anyone have luck with the dealer yet with the bad paint? I hand waxed my truck today and am sickened by the amount of lost paint. My wife's van with twice the miles has at least half the scars.

RE: NBS paint
08 NBS. Paint is falling off of the hood and sides (lower mainly). My 02, which sees the same gravel roads has less scratches and it is a long bed extended cab. This truck is a 4 door short bed.

RE: NBS paint
As a matter of fact I was at thedealership this morning checking on my 07' Ext cab that's getting some body work doneto fixsome rear-end collision damage and I asked the Body Shop manager the same question. What is the stinking deal with the tiolet paper -thin paint?
He said it's because of the environmental people putting limits on the amount offumes from the painting process. Essentially. . . . they have to stay under a certain amount fumes and blah-blah-blah per day, so . . .the less amount of time each vehicle spends in the paint booth is the more vehicles they canget painted and stay under the limits.What that means to you and me????? Theymake moremoneyby making a reduced quality product. It sucks but i guess I'll just have to by some touch-up and stay on top of the chips.

GM had problems with silver tinted paint colors and the primer. They did not adhere properly. The body man is full of crap. GM should have repainted them. The paint is falling off my 90 1500. I have a junkyard fender that is like perfect but a different color. Iowa has little or no smog in our small town.
