Pontiac: GM paint defect / 2000 Grand Prix

Hey all,

Long story short, I think my car's paint job has a defect. The paint is
cracking and falling off on the rear wheel wells (both sides)

I found information claiming that in January 1993 GM adopted a policy where
they repaint factory paint defects for up to 6 years regardless if the car
is new or used.

I went to my local GM dealer and they said it was only covered under the new
vehicle 3 year warranty. I called GM canada and they give me the same story.

Anyone else had this problem?

Anyone had this problem fixed?

I have a 98 grand prix that had paint bubbles form last summer near the gas
tank fill cover on the drivers side. There is a 6 year "rust through"
warranty but my vehicle isn't covered because there are not holes in the
sheet metal "yet". The paint has now bubbled out worse after the winter but
still is technically not "rust thru" although rust coming from underneath is
causing this problem.
I contacted GM by both phone and mail and got the same response, if the
vehicle shows rust through before it is 6 years old they "may" fix it, then
again, they may not.
In other words the warranty is essentially worthless and I have vowed to
never buy GM again after having nothing but for over 3o years. I have
never had a vehicle show signs of rust this early, even my 1970 vehicles.
