Description of the problem | I bought my 2016 pearl white kia optima in may of 2016. Recently, i noticed the paint chipping and peeling off my hood. It started out the size of a pea but now is bigger than a quarter and continues to get bigger by the day. I now have another spot that is chipping on the hood due from heavy rain this past week. The paint is also peeling or chipping on the roof right above where the front windshield meets. I expect nicks and chips from debris when hit while driving or parked, but not paint peeling off and chipping while it sits in my driveway with no threat of damage. |
