I know . I just didn't know if this was typical with these cars due to their low quality paint jobs.

Though I still think the chipping is strange... I have owned a 96 cavalier, 99 cavalier, and 99 crown vic, none of which had any paint chipping whatsoever (well except for the rust spots). Paint fade, yes for sure, especially the GMs . I guess it's just a roll of the die, depending on how the previous owner drove it, and where.

Thanks for the replies everyone

 

Welcome to DRIVER, nice coupe! Any car with you're kinda mileage will have chips or worse. Adding a clear coat is expensive and may not give you the results you want, for a few $$ more you could get it repainted....Gary

 

Welcome! It is a beautiful car!

 

Those look like the chips are through the clear and the paint underneath has either oxidized, or is extremely dirty.

You might be able to clay bar or buff those a little and pull some of the black out.

 

love the color yea go for a detail and bam clear bra it'll help teh appearance
