[QUOTE="black4vcobra, post: 16299836, member: 82394"] It was crazy. I had a 95 Grand Am in HS and part of college and the body was completely undamaged yet damn near half the paint on the trucklid had just flaked off. No rust at all underneath. There is surprisingly little information on the problem on the internet. I guess it makes sense since the problems happened before widespread adoption of the internet. Anyway, from what I can tell it was a problem in the 80s to mid 90s for multiple reasons and it affected all manufacturers but GM seemed to be the worst. From what I can gather the problems arose because the paint was a new water based enamel with lower VOCs, the body panels were made of a more [URL='http://www.city-data.com/knowledge/Corrosion.html']corrosion[/URL] resistant steel that the paint didn't jive with being applied on and the clear coat was a fairly new product as well. Just another reason why the early 80s to mid 90s were some of the worst years of cars ever, the Fox body Mustang excluded though it was fairly shitty until 87 [/QUOTE]
