I have a white, '92 454 SS which is my daily driver. two years ago the white paint came off in sheets on the roof and the bed rails. I had it painted and all is good.. I'm really hoping that the '93 Pace truck paint holds up. Having issues would be a drag. Don't know if there is any protective polish or whatever that would help prevent the paint degradation. I do believe it is sun related...

Bill - just going back to this comment from a while ago:

The peeling/flaking is absolutely sun related. The UV light penetrates the paint and causes delamination, with lighter colors being most problematic. That's why you usually see the peeling occurring on white trucks.

Having said that - a black truck that has been kept inside should be fine.
