38: Paint Quality
GM cars and trucks have long been panned for their lack of paint quality, and this still holds true to this day. GM paint quality is among the lowest in the automotive industry and you’ll routinely see GM vehicles that are less than a decade old starting to peel and fade. When you purchase a vehicle, there’s definitely some measure of protection that the owner should take to protect the paint job. But it is also important that the vehicle manufacturer uses quality paints, and GM hasn’t been known for being particular when it comes to choosing paint.
The lack of paint quality on GM vehicles has caused frustrations for decades. No one wants to spend such a high amount of money on a vehicle only to have the paint deteriorate. As pricing of vehicles continues to rise, the need for a proper paint job is a must. Automakers including GM need to refrain from cutting corners and put more effort into their paint jobs.
