white is a horrible color to pick, it never wants to stick to anything.

Black requires alot of maintenance, waxing etc.

Red is generally the most expensive color.

Yellow is supposidly a cheaper color.

Green looks horrible.

Blue is midrange on the cost, looks good with minimum of maintenance.

silver is a good color, gives you something between black or white.

Ever seen red early-mid 90ish bonneville? WAY TO MUCH RED!
 
Silver good Grey bad. Grey fades to fast.


What color is it Phil? I never seen a bonnevilles paint peel off, seen
it fade but never peel. Maybe yours was built on a monday? Do you park
it under a tree or something? If its used does it look like it might of
been repainted?

There's almost nothing that the owner can do to cause this, it can only be a
factory defect. When I've had paint problems in the past -- even well out of
warranty -- I've always found it worthwhile to pursue it with the company. Go
to the original dealer and ask them politely what they can do about it. When
they say "nothing" ask politely to get an appointment with the regional manager
the next time he/she is visiting. Get his/her name and confirm the appointment
ahead of time. When you discuss it with him/her be sure to make the point that
you like the brand and hate to be a moving advertisement for paint problems.

Good luck.

I got a 95 White Bonneville, and the paint is peeling off in 3 different
places. Right above the windshield on the roof, left rear quarter panel
below spoiler, and on the left passenger door. It looks weird because I
never seen green primer paint before.

I have a white 97 with 108K miles, never garaged, in Texas, and the
paint is perfect. Could it be a poor repaint? I have seen a couple of
pre-97 Bonne's with similar problems. I know GM had a problem with
paint on pickups in the 95-98 range somewhere and repainted them under
warranty. Maybe you should talk to the GM zone rep.
