Ok car was fine when I left this morning from school, I come outside around 1 from class to head to work and I see this WTF HAPPENED?
paint failure or someone bein an asshole possibly? I know its dirty but it was sitting for a while in the garage getting work done and I had to drive it today because our other vehicles were getting inspected.

Maybe acid or something that doesn't just happen in 8 hours.

That is more than just a clearcoat failure. Some little ass must of gotten jealous and either poured acid or took a screw driver and started chiping away. I would be :tickedoff:

I can't see pics but you said it was sitting for awhile before you drove it today. Maybe something happened then?

no way that just showed up, you can see the oxidation on the flake and pretty much the rest of the car.

paint's peeling off bud, not much you can do with that, cept get a repaint!

There is no way in hell that just happens. Clearcoat can fade and start peeling but that just takes it to another level.

Someone had to have done this, wither with some kind of chemical or brute force

It kinda looks like the hood is a bit different shade than the fenders. probably a cheap repaint.

it really looks like it started peeling off due to bad prep and or bad mix.
Maybe you didn't notice it, but if it was some type of chemical that took it right off, you'd see where it ran off, and it wouldn't be chipping out. like that.

anyway, that sucks man, you gotta get that repainted soon before it rusts!

Well the main reason it makes me think someone did it is because here in PA theres been people going around putting acid and other chemicals on car hoods and around other various body parts I saw it on the local news a little while ago just didnt expect it to happen to my car the only day I've taken it out in a like a month :crying: :nonono: :tickedoff: but I guess I could take this oppertunity to just strip the entire car and do all the primer work and such and finish it up with a nice black pearl with some metal flake or something along those lines, I was planning on doing that next year anyway but I wanted to drive it around this summer instead of doing body work :wall:

That dont matter, people will do it to any car if they can get away with it.
