[Tigers] White paint - Non Tiger

[Stu Brennan]

We have this white 2003 Ford Escape and the white paint is flaking off the 
roof.  It spent most of its life in the northeast, and only one winter in 
central Florida.  Since this started, I think I've noticed a few other white 
cars, not all Fords IIRC, that had white paint flaking off.  I don't mean 
its from rust underneath, the primer seems intact.

So does anyone know if there is some chronic problem with white paint in 
general?  The reason I'm asking is that I'm looking at a used car for a DD, 
that has everything right, except it is white...
