The paint on my black 2000 mitsubishi eclipse is peeling off for the second time within a 2 year period. I had it paint in january 2006 by a local mistubishi dealership in clearwater, fl but they only painted the hood, roof and trunk at the time. So now over the last few months the doors and side panels are starting to flake and discolor. I contacted the manufactuer and they told me my warranty had run out so there was out of their hands. They don't believe its a defect, but the paint is going and I'm still making payments on the car. I just thing that is wrong.
