#1 of 4 Paint Problems by melchayworth Jan 29, 2009 (5:46 pm)
I have a 2008 Aveo sedan that has horrible paint loss and chipping in the entire area at the bottom of both passenger doors. GM service center is telling me this is normal wear and tear and not covered under warrenty. My 2006 Aveo had nothing like this. I also purchased the ResistAll paint protection which appearantly is not even a paint protection, another GM dealer told me it was simply a good wax job. Anyone else having this problem?

Replying to: melchayworth (Jan 29, 2009 5:46 pm) I lost practically all of the paint off of my front bumper over the course of the first two years of owning it. I basically divorced myself from the dealership over this car (let the buyer beware, right?!), so I had a local body shop do it. Sad that these issues happen with a car that's so new. Mine has less than 40k on it. My 3 year old could have put finger paint on this that would have lasted longer!

Replying to: melchayworth (Jan 29, 2009 5:46 pm) I work at a chevy dealer in CA and I can tell you that the paint has a 5yr 100,000 mile warranty. If the chipping is due to defect and not road hazard damage (ie stones or solvents on the road) it would be covered. In addition to the factory warranty the resisall paint protection you purchased may cover the damage if caused by road hazards. Review your documents on the paint protection and contact them directly. I am not personally familer with the brand resistall, but most of those products are backed by a insurance policy to cover the repair.   In answer to your question "anyone else having this problem", we have sold over 50 of the Aveos and have not had any paint issues.   Hope this helps.   Winston

I have a 2004 Aveo and the paint is in near perfect condition except where people have hit the bumper or scratched it in the parking lot, etc.
