Nope it's crap. I can't believe just how easy it chips. I'm thinking about buying one of those pro paint chip kits just to keep up with the problem. Theres just isn't any thickness or hardness. Its down to the tin and seems to be no primer base either. Can't say it's just Mopar but I own this one it the paint is CRAP.

If it was done this year you should be able to. There's absolutely zero excuse for it to peel a few months later...

Just out of curiosity do you wash yours with a pressure washer?

IDK if this helps but my dealer always told me that there is a 12 month warranty on repairs they've done, regardless if it was warranty work or not.
