A man went viral on social media due to a video in which he suggests that white car paint peels faster than that of vehicles in other colors. Is this true?
Originally posted on YouTube, Vehcor appears with a white Hyundai in the garage, showing that the paint was already peeling above the front wheels.
“If you’ve ever wondered how GM solved its paint peeling problem in the late 1990s and early 2000s, well, they got a new paint supplier and apparently sold all their paint and primer products to Hyundai,” the video says.
Vehcor recently reposted the video on his TikTok profile, where it quickly went viral, sparking a big debate on the topic in the comments section. However, it’s worth noting that if taken literally, his statement contains some misleading information.
First, it’s not clear whether General Motors actually “solved” the paint peeling issue, but they appear to have made some improvements after a flood of complaints from consumers.
And although Hyundai has faced some of the same issues, it did not receive any second-hand paint from GM. While GM made some changes, Hyundai took another approach and began offering a warranty extension for white car owners earlier this month.
