paint peeling

Short answer is no...
I was a painter in a past life...I can't begin to count the amount of Ford peelers I painted working in a body shop that did work for the local Lincoln, Mercury dealer...that was in the 90's...
My 05 is peeling also...so far its just the fender and hood jambs, and inside the tailgate...mine is Medium Wedgewood Blue/Arizona Beige...just the blue is peeling...
Basically, all of the offending paint needs to come off to repair properly...
Regards!

I did so many Ford peelers that I could strip the paint off of them (horizontal surfaces) with a single edge razor blade without scraping the e-coat...Taurus's,Escorts, T-birds, Cougars, and F-250's...I'm disappointed that my 05 is peeling...and rusting in the roof dams under the moldings (I think that is from having a windshield replaced. Installer lifting the molding with a screw driver probably).
GM also had their problems in the 80's-90's...Toyota and Nissan solid blues were also very prone to peeling...
Don't get me started on the paint we used to refinish the cars...Sherwin Williams clear would peel at about 3-5 years...so glad I am not in the business anymore!

My Toreador Red '01 Merc GM (and '07 FX4 and our '08 Mustang) stays parked under a carport when not in use, the Merc I've had since 2001, and besides carport it has always had a cover or two on it .... paint looks new still.
I know that it's been a problem since clear coats became the norm and I know it's something to do with the sun. The sun has always been a paint killer, but with CCs .... it looks like a more agonizing death. I recall neighbors having everything above the accent stripe of their '86 SHO Taurus repainted by Ford for it when it was just a year or two old. Likewise, I've seen GM and Chrysler products doing it as well. It starts and usually ends on the horizontal surfaces with most direct exposure to sunlight.

Pain Peeling on the fenders, inside the hood well.
I have slight paint-peel/flaking on the fenders, just inside the grooves where the hood rests. It is happening on both sides. I bought a couple of touchup pens to try to seal it and keep it from spreading. Anyone see this before, or have any thoughts before I attempt this stop-gap measure?

Later the slight tape lines hidden in the jambs can start peeling or flaking due to lack of prep in that area.
