Models
Affected:
1985 - 1989 ALL MODELS
Causes for chipped paint are often difficult to diagnose. The following information is intended as a guide in determining whether the condition is due to
a product condition or owner responsibility.
The paint used on all GM cars is designed to withstand certain impact forces without chipping. However, the color coat may chip off some body panels
depending upon a number of factors and circumstances, including a vehicle's design features (hood, slope angle, size of front end panel, rocker panel turn
under), age, the severity of impact, and severe owner usage. Chipping paint is caused by (among other things) the impact of salt, stones or hard objects.
Conditions of chipping paint should be carefully evaluated to determine if the cause is related to a paint condition or severe usage by owner. When
determining the cause, the following guidelines should be used as reference.
