They stopped making good paint when they took the lead out.
I miss good old GM code 12 white. Couldn't hurt that paint.

Sometime in the late 80's I think. It was the year that Ford and some
other makers had problems with paint pealing off their cars due
to incompatibility with the basecoat.
I'm fairly sure it was close to 88 and I know for sure it was later
than 82 cause that's when my old C-10 was made.

Re: TJ Paint
My 90 YJ paint was MUCH worse than my 99TJ was or my 03TJ is. I think
the 99 was the best of the three as far as paint goes. Those carwash
brushes are notorious for scratching paint.
