If it'* the 'rare production model' what should i do?

As far as paint, it may just be the clearcoat. I am starting to lose my clearcoat, too on the roof, a little on the trunk, and alot on the back bumper. I am hoping to get afresh clearcoat by spring if everything works out.
Also, I sent you a PM (Private Message) with some information.

Welcome to the club! Nice rare car you got there ![Wink](https://www.gmforum.com/gm/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
I'm guessing this clearcoat problem is due to the hot dry sun in AZ? Very nice place to live, but I bet it takes a toll on a paint job! lol
