It is not uncommon for the clear coat paint on black vehicles to develop white spots and begin peeling. In most cases Mitsubishi will not cover out of warranty repairs for this condition.

My car is in great condition, except about a year ago my roof started fading. Its gotten worse. I shouldn't have to pay for a paint job. There is no EXCUSE cause its a balack car. Three of my friends have black cars and their cars older than mine and their paint didn't fade. Something needs to be done.
