THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF OF MY CAR.

Syracuse, NY
STRUCTURE
THE PAINT HAS BUBBLED AND NOW IS CHIPPING OFF THE CAR. I NOTICED THE BUBBLING SOME YEARS AGO WHEN THE BUBBLES TURNED TO TINY RUST SPOTS. JUST RECENTLY A LARGE SECTION OF PAINT OF THE TRUCK OF THE CAR CHIPPED OFF. I TALKED TO A FEW WELL KNOWN PAINT SHOPS AND THEY SAID THAT EVEN IN A CAR THIS OLD THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH HOW THE PAINT WAS APPLIED IN THE FACTORY. I ALSO LEARNED THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH WHITE FORD MUSTANGS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.
