Paint chipping of on side skirts and almost looks like it is thinning near edges and becoming black or even green almost (not as noticable as the chips)
2003 yellow oz rally

 

thunder grey no problem, I agree if you have orange peel or paint fade the dealer should look into it, but as far as stone chips I say no.
If you get a chip in the winshield not a dealer problem right, if you don't want chips on sideskirts buy mudflap.

Chipping along side skirts, trunk lid, front edges by grill, and behind license plate in front...Just plain rediculous...we should file a class action suit!!!

I own a 2003 OZ Lancer with 4800 miles on it. Paint chips on the hood, and fenders. Also a few along wheel wheels. Mostly from rocks flying up on highways. I wash my car every chance i get which is usually every 1-2 weeks. I wax my car every 4-6 months with meguires gold wax. So as you can see I try and take really good care of the exterior of the car. Hope that was descriptive enough for you.

 

2002 OZ lightning yellow...around 2k miles i noticed paint was chipping/fading green along the side skirts. Dealership repainted. Also paint is very easy to chip on body componants (bumpers, sideskirts) no primer!

EDIT: OZ pieces, door handles, mirror housings, and spoiler are a different shade of yellow from the rest of the car.

Labrador Black: Paint chip on the hood - it is developing nasty rust - going to the dealer next week to get it fixed. They promised to do it, I just hope they keep their word.
