Don‘t know how else I could describe it but the black painted front grill of the RST model here is having issues. The paint is coming off after 20k miles and I’m wondering if that could get fixed as I assume it‘s not just regular paint but powder-coated. And if anyone knows whether this would be covered by Chevy’s warranty? What do you think? Small chips are certainly not my biggest concern but this large spot. Seems to be bad quality.

I would go to the dealership and see what they can offer to do. I would imagine bumper to bumper would cover it.
