I was actually scrolling around the DSMtuners page and I noticed one of those little ads that says "Mitsubishi Paint Recall" and it took me to this page:
Car Painting | Earl Scheib - Auto Paint Body Since 1937
Yeah I know its earl schieb bleh but I definately know the black mitsubishi cars have a problem with peeling/chipping clearcoat like my car. Very often on the street I see a black mitsubishi car like a 2G and the paint is similar to mine. I always figured hey its a black car it gets hot and kills the clearcoat (which makes me want to buy a white car for my next car but let's not get into that).
Well it turns out that I guess the black Mitsubishi paint is indeed defective. However the site only mentions 2k model Galants, eclipses, etc... I'm sure that 2G eclipses are affected by it as well.
I did a some googling about this and it turns out that Mitsubishi is aware of the clear on the black cars chipping off and are "fixing" some cars. They haven't issued a recall yet but I guess you can take your car to Satan and they will take pictures of your car and send it to Mitsubishi and they will ultimately decided if they will fix it or not.
Here's the chipping I'm talking about if no1 is familiar with it:
Yeah I know its really dirty

I used big picture because in the small one you can't see it so just click the link to see the pic, but notice how the quarter panel the clear is chipping, the roof has almost no clear on it (thank god for sunroof glass!), the hatch, and the wing are peeling. Heh look at my RS in the back the roof paint is starting to fade, mitsu and their weak paint.
So I'm wondering has anyone successfully gotten their car's paint fixed by mitsubishi?
I notice Dodges have the same problem. The early Neons had it really bad, it common to see like a 95 or 96 neon have the actual paint chipping off and you see the primer. Dodge rams I notice have the same problem as our cars. I know I see some other black cars and their paint doesn't look like this and they say they keep their car outside and stuff.
