THE PAINT ON MY TRUCK SEEMS IN ADEQUATE. I HAVE MANY CHIPS AND SCRATCHES IN MY PAINT THEY I HAVE NEVER HAD BEFORE IN OTHER MODELS AND BRANDS. I DRIVE MY TRUCK CAREFULLY AND STAY OUT OF CONDITIONS WHERE SCRATCHES MAY OCCUR. BUT THE SMALLEST BLEMISH TURNS INTO A CHIP DOWN TO THE PRIMER. AS A CONSUMER I WOULD SAY THAT THE. INNER OF COATS OF PAINT AND CLEAR COAT USED IS MINIMAL. WOULD LIKE TO SEE A STRONGER LAYER OF PROTECTION AND THICKER COAT OF PAINT.
