You are one of the lucky ones then! Copperleaf and BRG suffer the worst from the metallic on our cars.

Primrose yellow is by far the worst for paint fade issues.

My starlight silver car is doing the exact same thing on the drivers side below the chrome stripe it's just bad bodywork done in the past reacting over time I think in my case.
I wet sanded with 2.5k the edges where they blended it in and what came under was good orginal paint .

Mines Royal blue, and has a very similar thing going on as what's described above.
I thought that the previous owner was a fan of using a car wash rather than using bucket and sponge, but perhaps not. It sounds like my paintwork is deteriorating like others.

I blew over the front of my bonnet some time ago, to cover road rash and where some right naughty word dropped something on the bonnet outside Halfords. A month or so back I noticed crazing along the front. Hair line at first that got worse over a few weeks.
Took it off, sanded it down to about the primer. Primed it, dry cut the primer back a bit, gave it a light first coat of basecoat, full second coat of basecoat. Left it a hour before clear coating, and for naughty word sake, naughty word ing hair line crazing. Just about spotted it. Done a bit of spraying over the decades including my new trailer for Big Blue I sprayed last year.

Never experienced this crazing load of naughty word.

Decided to just clear coat the bonnet, and naughty word to it.
