And the clearcoat cometh offeth

The car: 2002 Honda Civic Si Coupe (CAN); Eternal Blue Metallic

The problem: Clearcoat chipping off

The skinny: In the lower corner of the passenger door (the rearwards corner), my clearcoat is chipping off. It's really noticable as it's half in, half out of the door frame. I'll take a pic tonight and upload it - I did some searching and didn't come up with many paint problems here in the forums, so before I head into the dealer armed with pics and video, anything I should tackle? I'm still on original warranty and I have extended warranty to back me up.

Anyone else have clear-coat or paint issues?

EDIT - "chip" is perhaps the wrong word.... "flaking off" probably fits better

And no, no rock hits or anything there to cause the problem.

Just take it to the dealer. 100% Honda's fault...no need for argument.

I have clear coat probs on my roof. It looks almost like acid rain dmage on the top but then above the passenger door and leading up on the roof you can see where the cc is flaking off. Im taking it to honda at 40k on a 2k1 ex it shouldn't do this. i also got the honda care warranty....
