Then why do I see it is so many factory paint jobs? Are the car manufacturers screwing up their paint jobs?


Here in the southwest, it's very common to see clear-coat problems, and on factory paint. The clear coat doesn't so much separate and flake as turn to powder, which suggests that the problem is the result of deterioration due to UV.
