I'd say in my specific year and color(2018,Black) that GM let these go with no quality control. I've seen some newer than mine, cars that have chips, scratches, swirls, orange peel ect. To be fair to GM, I have been going around analyzing other people's paint and everyone else's seems to be just as cheap. The constant scratches, rock chips and swirls from everyday driving will I'm sure accelerate it. It's like a rock, I don't think the paint will last very long on these cars unfortunelty. I agree, after sanding some spots I have come to the conclusion that GM'S top coat is very hard. The less you (or a cover) touch the car, the longer you can preserve the clear coat. You'll scratch your paint way worse with a cover, especially if it's an outdoor one that may even move around slightly on the car with the wind. On the topic of car covers, I wouldn't do it just to prevent the collection of dust or everyday grime. My garnet red metallic paint is a tradeoff, it's dark enough to show some of the gunk and dirt, but not too much, and it looks royal, especially in the sunlight.
They do look the best, but for the shortest possible time, heh. Black cars are extremely hard to keep clean but they look nice for the 2 hours they're clean lol I'm actually going to be replacing the front bumper as it's totalled with rock chips and then maybe some more spot sanding stuff as I see it pop up. A car cover is coming today for it, should minimize me having to clean it daily lol. It actually looks AWEFUL today because it rained last night(south west Florida) and then it collects all the dust and stuff in the yard. Thanks guys! It's a work in process, I've been just restoring things as I go.
