Any paint problems on new cars etc?

Everything is 10x harder now and the offering is based on what makes money. The quality expectations have never been higher and market pressure requires you manage costs. How do you order, stock, maintain millions of $ in inventory of different colors all while delivering year over year profits to the shareholders? Did anyone NOT buy a car becuase the color wasn't available? So what was the point of have a special color for 0.1% of the market?
The aftermarket serves these customers with custom vinyl wraps at every color and pattern under the sun.

The clear coats still can’t withstand the Phoenix sun. Only white cars and silver seem to survive here.

I wonder how well a single stage would do with that? I'm thinking the reason the clear coats peal so easy is there is nothing to grip to with the water paint it is sprayed over? Latex should be for house painting and such not for cars and trucks.

Tell that to owners of white cars of various brands. Hyun/Kia and GM especially

I had a 2015 Camry with white paint and severe allopecia. What a mess.

I wish someone would come up with a clear coat that doesn’t swirl and scratch when dust or dirt looks at it. I spend a lot of time and money carefully cleaning my vehicles and it’s impossible to keep them swirl free.

Yeah, the new colors are ugly.
