Corvette C7 Stingray paint quality problems affect more and more cars-if you must drive Stingray, RENT and DO NOT BUY

By now, it is painfully obvious that buying the new Corvette is not a smart thing to do. There is a serious flaw in the ultra low density SMC used for body panels and more and more cars fall victim to this issue.  If the panels do not crack, they are full of orange peel and if they are not, this is only due to paint literally FALLING OFF the car. 

Here is another example of what happens when flawed materials are combined with shoddy paint preparation and ill body panel fitment.  By all accounts, this damage should be limited to a slight rub mark or in worst case, paint chipped along the mating edge of the fender, where it meets the front bumper.

Instead, due to surface cohesion and possible lack of full paint curing, the paint literally comes off the fender like a plasti dip spray job.  Totally unacceptable and right down shameful to see this sort of paint failure on a car that supposed to be a flagship of  +General Motors  Chevrolet brand.
