I haven't heard of this. I went out and checked a couple of Yukons and there does seem to be a seam on the paint. I wonder if it's a wrap similar to the chrome handles that are notorious for peeling when they start to come unglued. If so, they may replace them under warranty like they do on the chrome handles.

This sounds like a known issues with the handles, especially with the Chrome. I hadn't heard of it happening to the painted handles, but seem I will be on the look out.

I see this is an old thread, but will respond anyway. I have a 2014 Suburban in Moca Steel that has paint delaminated from the inside driver door handle. My clear coat on the hood and over the front windshield has crazed and looks like it's failing too. Don't understand it. I had a 2000 Suburban that I traded and never had any problems with the clear coat.

My 2004 Denali had the exact same issue when I bought it. I think it cost me about $250 to get it fixed

Checked with Chevrolet ... they said after 12 months from new they won't cover anything. They want 600 to do the hood. Haven't gotten an estimate on the roof yet. I'm hoping the whole paint job isn't failing. Did GM change the paint they use?

My 2006 has bad clearcoat all over the roof. And a few little spots along my doors. Sucks. I never had any clearcoat issues on my 2001 Durango limited that had nearly double the miles when I sold it that my Denali has. Really sad that gems paint quality isn’t very good.

Ted, what year do you have?


GM is notorious for peeling white paint. Look at all the vans and work trucks out there. underneath it's grey primer. I was told the reason is that they use a water based primer. On my 99 K3500 the roof and the hood peeled. I'm hoping it wont happen to my Hoe!

It has nothing to do with mileage. We can thank the EPA for poor paint quality

Is that every version of white that has a history?

since the mid to late eighties as I recall

Kieth,
I didn't see this until today. On my Suburban, it's a 2014. About May of this year I noticed toward the back of the hood the paint lost its shine. It's November and the paint's become alligated in the middle of the hood and working outward. Same thing is happening to the roof.

Down here in the south, it's even more important to keep a good coat of wax on the paint and clean it often. What part of Florida are you in Ted? Treasure Coast here.

I remember back in the Eighties when I worked at a Chevy dealer in Miami, the Paint would fade on new vehicles in stock. I think that's when GM still used acrylic lacquer paint. More so on the light colored Metallic 's

The heat just bakes the paint, Get her repainted and move north. just not to the rustbelt.

just kidding!!

Following up from my November '17 post, I went to Lou Bachrodt Chevy ... my local dealer. The service department took photos and sent me to the body shop. Body shop also took pics and said they'd get the GM regional rep to look at it. Called for status a few more times, but 5 months later, still waiting. Since then the clear coat fail completely covers the hood and roof now. I'm surprised the other top surfaces still shine like new paint ... can't figure why. Isn't the whole outside of the Suburban shot at the at the same time as the factory?

It's quite possible the vehicle had some kind of transportation damage after it left the factory. Might have been something as fluid damage that required a repaint of the affected areas.
