Re: SON OF A B*^#&!!!
It's only on the grille. It appears as though the rim around the headlight
was not properly prepped.
When I took it to the car wash to blow off some mud and bugs, it must have
brken it loose.
It's not hard to fix at all really. It needs to be sanded down below the
clear coat, reprimed and then painted and clear coated again.
All of today's paints (as far as I know it's been this way at least ten
years) have the clear coat on them. That's why the reds and silvers don't
fade as quickly as they used to.
As I said, thank goodness for the 3/36 bumper to bumper. It should be
covered. I'll get ahold of them today.

That is the top layer of the paint job. It is a harder layer there to
protect the softer paint. Likely way cheaper to do it this way. They
can put on soft paint and only need a hard outer shell to get the same
life out of it.
Unfortunately when it fails, it is catastrophic. The paint's chemistry
has failed to hold it on or the coat was no good, but either way it is a
'very' expensive fix. I have never heard of a fix that was successful
either....
