[Tigers] White paint - Non Tiger

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Stu,
I would check with Ford to see if there was an "unadvertised" recall for  
defective paint. Jeep had one yrs. ago and was repainting cars that were 7-8  
yrs. old. I think the problem is with the clear coat. When that goes the 
paint  goes next. BTW, I've had white cars with no problems.  With Jeep it was 
 dark colors....black and dark gray.

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...
