bigredmachine Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 I have had trouble with the paint on my hood and front fenders chipping. Has anyone lese had this problem, and if so is there any chance that GM would have the paint job redone?
Bigdogx Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Very much doubt you will get one red cent from gm for a new paint job.And you are not alone not just some, every colorado owner has had huge issues with paint being extremely thin and chipping problems.I believe gm went to a new process which is supposed to be high tech and give the best paint job in gm history.Not the case, the paint is extremely brittle and cheaply applied i wouldnt doubt if the silverado line is getting the same garbage paint job as the rados now! If that is the case go buy a case of touch up paint because you will need it from what ive been seeing on the colorado forum boards.
erice Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 I would try to get them to do it. I had an 89 camero that GM repainted well after warranty at no charge.

TimB Posted January 14, 2005 Report Posted January 14, 2005 Why would they repaint anything if it got chipped. Mine looks great after 47K miles. No chipping here.

I doubt GM would ever do a thing about paint chips. Flaking and discoloration is a defect, that GM would be liable for, but not paint chips.
