McCredie Automotive Reporter If it is, don’t worry. You. are not alone. The two automakers have ac- knowledged paint defects on potentially millions of vehicles built between 1987 and 1992. The highest incidence of peeling has been found on vehicles painted blue, grey, silver or black metallic. Paint flaking, a defect called delamination, occurs when irri- tants such as ultraviolet light cause the top coat of paint to separate from the primer coat of paint. All four of the above men- tioned colors were found to be especially sensitive to ultraviolet light. GM _ doesn’t believe the peeling problem is widespread, but motorists who feel their vehicle’s paint is affected beyond normal wear and tear should contact their nearest GM dealer for a free in- spection. “GM of Canada will handle peeling paint on a ‘case by case’ basis,’? said GM _ spokesperson Stew Low. Low added that the automaker may pay for a new paint job or split the cost depending on what is decided under GM’s goodwill pol- icy. He had no figures on how many cases have been reported in Canada. Both Dick Irwin Chev/Olds and Dave Buck Ford service spokespersons said they have re- painted cars that have had defec- tive paint jobs. As far as who pays for the re- painting, both managers said it depended on the year, model and THE PEELERS THE FOLLOWING General Motors vehicles are reported to be susceptible to paint peeling and flaking (Ford models were not available at press time): '@ Buick — 1988-91 Century; 1988-92 Skvlark and’ LeSabre. @ Chevrolet — 1988-90 Cel- ebrity; 1988-92 Beretta, Camero, Corsica and _light- duty trucks and vans. @ GMC Truck — 1988-92 light-duty trucks and vans. © Oldsmobile -—- 1988-90 Cutlass Supreme; 1988-91 Cutlass Ciera and Cutlass Calais; 1988-92 Eighty-Eight and Bravada; 1992 Achieva. © Pontiac — 1988-91 6000; 1988-90 Grand Prix; 1988-92 Grand Am and Firebird.

The company and its suppliers found in the case of 1985-91 F- series trucks and Bronco sport- utility vehicles that adding an in- termediate step, called a primer surfacer, drastically cut reports of peeling. Paint damage caused by en- vironmental etching ~— traced to acid rain fallout, bird droppings and pollution from agricultural chemicals — is a constant concern for paint suppliers and automakers because today’s bet- ter-looking paint jobs make such defects stand out. paint. 3.
