Peeling paint and quality issues

We have problems with our 1994 K1500 Silverado truck too. The paint is all original (no accidents requiring new paint) but some top coat lacquer is just flaking off, most of the truck is covered in white specks (never saw such a bad case), and some colors faded so bad that in some lighting conditions you would think a cheap respray was done on some of the panels!

Really shameless quality control and for not doing a recall on this IMO. It seems like Hyundai and Kia use better paint and we bought this vehicle new (it was NOT a cheap truck at the time)!
