I've got a '92 Magnum V-6 Dakota with factory white paint. My hood
isn't peeling, but my tailgate is. There are half a dozen spots the
size of quarters where the paint has come off leaving a perfect grey
primer underneath.
I take care of this truck and wash it frequently, no harsh chemicals
or brush car washes. A friend of mine has a red '91 Dakota and his paint
is peeling off the hood, but it was repainted a couple of years ago
from an accident he was in.
I haven't talked to the dealer about it yet. I need to take mine in for
a new fuel sender (the second one!) and difficult shifting (5 speed
tranny). I tried synthetic lube in the tranny but it is getting very
hard
to shift, particularly to 2nd gear. I will question our local dealer
about the paint and let you know what kind of response I get from them.
