And the answer is Yes. I'm not sure of all the exact years and all of the makes and models, but GM did have a paint problem during the 90's.
In 92 I bought a new Pontiac Grand Am, and in 93 the paint started coming off the hood, trunk and top. The Pontiac dealer repainted the hood, trunk and top under warranty, explaining to me that the problem had to do with the primer that GM had used and/or how it had been applied. In 95 I bought a 95 LeSabre and in 96 the exact same thing started happening to it. I took it back to the dealer and got the hood, trunk and top repainted under warranty as well. My understanding at the time was that GM was not issuing a recall to repaint all of the cars that went out with bad primer, but they would repaint, under warranty, all of those brought in with the flaking problem.
If you'll start noticing, you'll see a lot of 90's vintage GM cars with paint flaking off the hood, trunk, and top.
