mufflers are painted black? Do you have a pic? I think you mean the integrated exhaust outlets.

All sports have black exhaust covers. Does not need to be Onyx. Mufflers aren't painted black from what I recall.

Ya it is a sport with black onyx package, so maybe they are covers? But to me it looks like chipped paint. Car is in service so cant get a pic of the actual color fading.

Do you mean the exhaust finishers on the rear bumper (which are not even connected to the exhaust outlet)? First off, All Sports have them in black, has nothing to do with Onyx. Strange that the paint there is peeling but it should be a super easy swap for your dealer. That part is just for looks, it is not part of the exhaust system.

Got a call from GM today. They are flying out an engineer to look at the front bumper. Apparently they had a fix in place before my build date…looks like it didn’t fix.

When was your build date again? Concerned I'm going to pick mine up in a month and have to take it straight to a local dealer.

@Romans9 April 22 build date.

Possibly why mine is still sitting in Arlington. Same color and built the week before. Going to be the first thing I look for when it does show up!

I really doubt that they are looking at the paint. They will see if you notice. The dealer should at least catch these paint issues in detail but again, they will likely see if you notice first. That seems to be the GM way.
Check all seams around doors, lift gate and panels. Check interior seams around doors, lift gate and hood.
Mine is currently past 30 days for lifters (qualifies for lemon). Lawyer has a list of things to talk to GM about.

A bunch of people on the Tahoe forum are having paint peeling issue as well.. and not just white :-O.

It is baffling that they are having issue with this.... working out the bugs on a new design or new tech is understandable, but painting a car? Come on.....

I am guessing there is something wrong with the prep or materials for the front and rear bumper covers. The paint issues seem to only be on these plastic parts.

Mostly on seams and edges. The seams are too tight and rub. No space.

Got a call this week 3 engineers are coming out to take my bumper off on the 28th. They are shipping up a new bumper from the factory. Sounds like they are going to analyze the current bumper with the GM Supplier.

That's good. Hope the paint matches. Tricoat can look yellow and hard to match.

I am going to get into a 22 once available.

Three engineers to remove a bumper...! Interesting!

In other news, my dealership said they received ZERO allocations for ANY vehicle today. I think a 22 is in the cards for me. We shall see!

When did you order? I placed an order last week…haven’t heard anything yet.
