99 Black Galant Paint Problem

I have a black 99 Galant and the clear coat is flaking. I now have white spots all over the top of the car. Can anyone tell me if they have had the same problem. The dealer says I must have set something on the car to cause the sun to bake the clear coat which is crap. I have never put anything on my car. I have found a couple of people that have had the same problem. If you are having or had this problem. I would like to know what you did. Thanks!

actually i think its all galants that have this problem ive seen many glants with the paint coming off on the roof of the car including mine i think its the paint an clear coat that mitsubishi uses and they give you excuses as to why its your fault and not theirs i suggest you go back to the dealer and say that you know a bunch of ppl with the problem and complain i dunno lol they may do sumthing for you

damn, I have a friend with a 1999 black galant too, and his paint is flaking so bad, its looking like a penguin color scheme. especially on the roof.

I have a black galant too and has the same problem, mostly on roof and over the trunk. I thing I will get it painted soon.

why is that? anyone know? (this is the part where i would love to bash chrysler)

Mitsubishi actually fit a teflon coating to their vehicles(as do a lot of Jap manufacturers) to resist acid rain, chemical solvents etc
Normally starts flaking off tho, which is why they no longer use it.

I am interested in contacting anyone who is having these paint problems.
Please email me!

I think i just got an email from u. My friend with the galant i am no longer in touch with.

Thanks for responding everyone. It is still a fight with Mitsubishi, but I want my car painted! So if you know anyone with the same problem, keep them coming.

Thanks!

I also have a 99 Galant, I bought it used a little over a year ago, and the same thing started happening to the top of my car about 6 months ago. I wasn't sure what was wrong, didn't know if it was due to the prior owners, but all of you have confirmed it's not just me. I might just end up getting it repainted, or complain to the dealership, not sure yet.

I also have the same problem the paint is chipping on my hood really badly. i took it to two paint shops and I was told that the car was never sanded when it came from the factory so that's why its chipping. This is a company problem and needs to be handled and taken up with Mitsu Corp. dealers don't seem to know much. The paint on a 4-5 year old car should not be chipping!

My 99 black gallant look absolutely terrible due to the same problem. I have white triangles all over the hood and trunck. It is so upsetting. I just got a bid for $1200, but do not want to pay.
