Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My black 2001 eclipse gt paint is failing fast. started as a small white smudge looking spot on the hood but has spread at a alarming speed to the entire hood and the roof and trunk. the paint in circular areas seems to just break down from inside. it's not cracking off but it's changing color from black to white like the sun is bleaching it out. looks just like if you spilled bleach on blue jeans. it has spread from hood to roof to trunk in 4 months. i'm told it will have to be sanded down to bare metal to remove the failing paint before repainting. *jb
