the paint on the hood of my 2005 G6 is wearing very quickly. I have dozens of chips from what the dealership is calling "road rash", but I disagree. The paint on the vehicle should be able to withstand some hits without damage. My paint is chipping away with the smallest of stone hits, barely noticeable when they occur. However, sure enough when I view the hood, there's another chip in the paint. I'm quite irked that GM is not willing to cover such flaws. I have spoken with a GM engineer friend of mine and he says the paint should not chip as easily as it is doing. My hood looks awful now and my car is just 3 years old. I hope others are having the same issue. I think it is factory defect on the paint job, because later models are not having the problem (and I have looked).
