Paint flaking off door


Recommended Posts

I have a Brownstone Metallic 2015 Silverado built at the Flint plant in May 2015. The truck has 52,000 miles and has been sometimes driven on gravel roads.  I must have got lucky, my paint looks like new everywhere, not even one rock chip. I have never had a vehicle with a better paint job.

Same year, same colour, same luck. but Sierra built in Mexico.  It is strange why some peel and flake while most don't. Maybe the cause is a result of factors after the vehicle was built.

I have a '14 Sierra and it is doing the same of both doors, the hood from rock chips, and the bed of the truck is peeling like crazy. 

 

It is Metallic Silver. I recommend anyone looking at buying a used '14 Sierra RUN as fast a possible because the paint job of these trucks is horrible. 

 

I have tried to mitigate this the best I can with touch up paint and covering the affected areas to prevent it from spreading but it is only a matter of time before that happens. 

 

I love the truck and mechanically the truck is sound but I am severely disappointed in the GMC paint job.

When you try and fix it use the GMC Paint Touch Up. Do NOT use Touch Up Direct as it will ruin the paint and not match. I used TouchUpDirect and then went on top of it with the GMC paint and it looks horrible. It made the paint "wrinkle" up. Here are some pics and maybe you can learn from my mistakes.

I have a 2014 Summit White that is peeling as well. Same spot on both rear doors and dead center of the cab about 2 inches back from the windshield. Several small places on the front end but I have not ruled out rock chips for these.

Yep, 14 Blue Topaz metallic, Drivers side rear door, same place, starts at the bottom of the window and goes up about 3 inches and a inch wide. I'd say manufacturing/Paint shop problem.

Anyone else having issues with the paint peeling off your truck?  My 2014 has started to peel and when I contacted GMC they said it was my problem and refused to help fix it.  The dealership wants $1700 to paint the entire door.  I haven't even owned the truck four years.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have a 2014 Sierra that has this same problem, same spot. I called and was told they couldn’t do anything about it. 
Apparently, their is an issue with this model in that area of the vehicle. I am totally disappointed as I purchased new and paid extra 1,000 for this color.

Dealership told me it wasn’t their fault and told me to go to their service department to get an estimate. Painter at the service department told me it’s an e-coat issue that doesn’t allow the paint to bond correctly. 
 

Same issue on my door. Now seeing it on the hood and around the front windshield.
