take it to the dealership. some of them are warrantying it. i got mine done under warranty 2 years after i bought my car. take it to multiple dealerships and just say this is "unacceptable". one of them will give in.
yes, my car was black

Re: crappy paint\ clear coat failure
yeah my car is black. The tech told me to bring it back on a weekday to have the manager take a look at it. They are going to take pictures to send to honda and hopefully have it warrented. my car is slightly more than 3 years old so they said it would be a "possible goodwill" warranty. BUt i think they should cover the paint nonetheless because paint failure does not just happen overnight, it has been a problem since the begning just not as apparent and only recently did it start peeling so bad.

Re: crappy paint\ clear coat failure
came in to honda today, had the manager look at it and luckily one of the managers from american honda was on site. They looked at my car and said they will be doing in covered under 'goodwill' since it was 3 or 4 months outside of the warranty.!! so they will be painting the roof and the quarter panel. im happy that honda backs up their work.

Had the rear wing on my 09 NHBP the clear coat was peelling off they took it in and repainted it. The dent fairy even came along and removed the quarter pannel dent from my wife backing into it 1 week after I got it. They covered it all almost a year after I got the car

Re: crappy paint\ clear coat failure
I have a 2006 Black Si with flaking/crows feet/whatever the hell they're calling it.........all over the hood and front part of the fenders. Took it to the dealership today just out of a "what the hell" moment. They are telling me to take it to a paint shop to get an estimate so i'm hoping that leads to good news.
The car has 60K miles on it.
