Hard to tell from the photos, but some of the pics look like it's been attacked with a rattle can ?
It's certainly unusual for original factory paint to be peeling on such a late car - the laquer coat has only really started to break down on the roof of the S-reg Dorchester in the last 12 months, and that paint is 20 years old ! Wonder if this one's been resprayed for some reason previously

More common than you think. Our now scrapped Facelift suffered from it big time. I reckon they changed the paint formulation on later cars. |

Ahh, fair enough, I wasn't aware of this problem as I haven't owned a facelift (other than the low mileage ZT-T, relatively briefly).
Does anyone know when water-based base coats started to become common ? Could it be this that's not as durable and that later cars were finished with this type of paint system maybe ?

It looks to be covered by European Paints Directive 2004/42/EC, which restricted solvents.
The facelift came out about that time (2004), so I think you are pretty spot on with the change of paint. Sent from my SM-T813 using Tapatalk

When I finally get to sort out the paintwork on the S-reg (...more important body structure repairs taking priority at present ), I'll be using solvent based base coat.
I've never understood the logic behind using a water-based base coat, then covering it with a solvent based lacquer....just doesn't make sense to me
