Paint problems with american manufactured aircraft are nothing new. When easyjet took delivery of its 737-700's virtually every aircraft was subject to a warranty respray.

Aircraft arrived on their delivery flight with paint missing and gradually they developed cases of measles as the rivet heads shed their paint.

Whether this was due to poor surface prep or the type of primer they are forced to use I do not know.
