so since mine is a 99 and has over 130K on her..i should still be able to print out the correct fix and take that to a body shop when i get my formula repainted? hate to spend the money on a new paint job just to have it crap out in a year or so..

A good body shop with that TSB in this thread should be able to fix the problem.

Important information in the Paint and Body forum about getting this problem fixed through the BBB.

Mine just started bubbling while in some high heat this past Sunday. I am going to make my calls today. I have 75k miles on her (2002), would this be under warranty for the paint?

I posted the process I had to go through in the paint and body forum, there should be a thread near the top right now.

Wow, you should tell them to reopen your case and show them how my arbitrator ruled. When she ruled in my favor, GM is bound by the rules of the BBB to accept any decision.

I think you'll be hard pressed getting a 10 year old car fixed, might have to pay out of pocket or find a friendly dealer.
