Was a bad batch of primer. They repainted a lot of cars that year.

Don't feel too bad Don, apparently Chev can't get the paint over
galvanized
right either. Paint came off the from of the hood and the rear lift gate
of
my 89 Blazer in no time at all!

When did they start doing that to ANY cars? I agree that it's
a good idea, but I've never owned a car that was galvanized.


Say what?
My 95 Voyager made much of the use of galvanized panels in the doors,
back
hatch etc.
As a mater of fact, I'll quote the brochure which I still have.

'Corrosion Protection Extensive use of galvanized steel; lower
bodyside
chip-resistant coating"

The only visible rust is on my 'liftgate'. the #$$%# handle flexes the
sheet
steel and the paint peeled off to reveal galvanized steel. I, very
stupidly,
sanded the galvanized coating and used a touch-up brush. The new paint
didn't hold and I now have surface rust instead of a galvanized look.
D'oh!
