#17 of 20 Bad Paint on 99 Dakota by yellow_dodge Apr 11, 2009 (9:43 am)
The paint on my 1999 Yellow Dakota is going bad too, on the hood roof and top of the bed.

I have a 2004 Dodge Dakota with a metal painted rear bumper. Within four years it is peeling and rusting and looks like heck. I maintain the truck and keep it in good clean condition. Is this typical Dodge? I would think it would hold out longer. Anyone else have the same issues?
#19 of 20 Paint on 97 Dakota 113K miles Dry climate by dakota888 May 29, 2009 (8:51 am)
I noticed about 2 years ago some small peeling on front fenders and top of cab (now about 6" diameter). This was right after a complete detailing by a car wash. (This may have been the first time I really looked at the paint.)   Now the spots are starting to show rust. My thought is to use 400-600 wet dry paper to feather the edges and use touch-up paint. It's the pearl silver color.   Does sound doable or is there something better?   Steve

My 2004 Dakota showed cracks in one of the doors last fall. By spring there were four cracks in the door and several in the roof. The roof paint is coming off the roof at the cracks like a sheet of linoleum. Chrysler has offered me 50% of the repaint cost, stating that I'm out of paint warranty. I'd like to think that I could expect the paint to remain affixed to the vehicle for more than four years. Chrysler is not standing by its product, and has eliminated a guaranteed new truck purchase in a couple of years.
