Re: Take a look at this paint.
OK, Ric, I give up. Is it a base coat problem that looks like clear coat failure?

I don’t know, all I have is those pictures. Person states that a body shop told him it’s a problem with the basecoat and the clearcoat is alright. I find that impossible to believe based on those pictures. That’s why I’m asking everyone here what they think.
It’s a 2015 Cadillac Escalade.

Re: Take a look at this paint.
No "if's, and's, and but's" to me. That is damaged/compromised clearcoat to my eyes. Whether or not the damage extends through to the basecoat is debatable... But I don't know of any way to determine if that is the case.
As for 'crowsfeet"? It does look like tiny cracks to me. Time for a look with a 10x magnifier.

Thought it was a trick question, but sure looks like the start of clear coat failure.

I sure hope that isn’t OEM paint as it looks like 10-15 year old Honda paint. And I agree it looks like clearcoat failure and incredibly bad for a 5-year old vehicle.

Apparently the dealer he asked told him it was indeed factory paint. I think they told him there might be somekind of recall going on about it. Might be a widespread problem but not sure.

My '89 Coupe de Ville has cracked paint on the driver's door and AFAIK it's not a repaint. Maybe this is something Cadillac has always experienced sometimes.
Treat it like it's the only one in the world.

Re: Take a look at this paint.
If my hood looked like that, I’d try rubbing transmission fluid on it. Have you guys ever heard about that 1? Looks like a perfect candidate.
