With that said, the culprit for a lot of folks seems to be paint not bonding correctly to the body panels and/or paint being applied too thinly.

There's a guy at work with a 2001 Pontiac Montana that's got the paint chipping at the leading edge of the hood and it looks like the primer they used is bonding to the metal, when he took the Montana to GM they pretty much told him that they wouldn't do anything for him because he was out of warranty.

Yeah I remember a friend back in the late 80's had one and it started to look like that after 3 years of being on the road, on the other hand there is a green Pony in my neighbourhood that is in mint shape the guy has kept the thing in showroom condition.
