Paint Problem
 

We received several inches of rain in my city over the last few days and it just stopped. Walked outside to look at my car and noticed splotchy dark silver spots on right below the trim on the drivers side window on the paint. Took my finger and tried rubbing it off only to have the paint act like a scratch off ticket. OMG. The areas around it are fine but the small area is destroyed as i can just scratch it and watch it flake all over my hand like a scratch off ticket.

Does anyone have any idea what the heck is going on and a recommendation for further action. This is sickening and unreal

was the car vandalized with some chemical? :icon14:

have your dealer take a look.

not vandalized. appears as if the clear is peeling it's gotta be. rest of the car is fine.

Acid rain?

sounds like some kind of acid rain, but it should be covered by warranty.

Check the Convertible thread for tales of similar mysterious spots. I don't recall anyone having flaking but one owner had her car re-cleared.

Here ya go...Clear Coat Paint Problems

Even acid rain would not cause that type of damage since the PH level of acid rain will not completely dissolve paint like that, especially if it is only in a local spot. That sounds like some kind of error during the paint process and should be covered under warranty.

Good luck with everything. :(

Acid rain AHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh!!!!!1
