I consider myself lucky since the paint job on my 24 2SS vert is great. When I bought new Corvettes in the 70s, the paint was horrific. Lacquer. St.Louis built. That changed for the better when the end of the C3 run were made at the new Bowling Green plant.
I had a 1991 GMC Jimmy 4 dr 4X4 that came out the plant with nearly no clear coat.I always hand washed it with Blue Corral mild detergent and hand waxed it with non-abrasive wax. The red paint would come off on the applicator. It would dull out in a matter of weeks- all of this on a garaged vehicle.
The zone office authorized new basecoat/clearcoat on the hood and roof.
