STRUCTURE:BODY
I OWN A 1996 CHEVROLET CORSICA. IT LOOKED MUCH OLDER THAT A 1996, BECAUSE THERE WERE MANY SPOTS OF PAINT THATCAME OFF. YOU COULD TELL THAT THE PAINT FAILED. IT MUST NOT HAVE BONDED TO THE CAR BECAUSE THE AREAS WERENOW RUSTING EVEN THOUGH I PUT WAX ON THERE TRYING TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THE FAILED PAINT. I DO MANY THINGS TO KEEP THE CAR LOOKING GOOD ,BUT THE PAINT JUST SLOWLY KEPT COMING OFF. I DIDN'T USE CAR WASHES ANYMORE BECAUSE THE PAINT CAME OFF WHEN IT WAS HIT WITH THE PRESSURIZED WATER. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER CORSICA CARS AROUND TOWN THAT SEEMED TO HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. I DIDN'T KNOW THE EXACT DATE BUT IT STARTED RUSTING MORE RECENTLY. THE PAINT FAILED FROM THE HOOD TO THE TRUNK. THERE WERE 22 LARGE SPOTS THAT WAS DOWN TO METAL OR TURNED TO RUST NOW. *AK
