95 850 Paint cracking

Post by Dad03 »

My 850 has an issue with the paint on the right rear panel cracking. It started on the ridge above the gas tank fill and goes to the rear window section. Now some smaller cracks that go up/down closer toward the tail light.

Its not flaking or peeling but looks like its a thick paint almost plastic cracking.

A little depressing because the paint looked perfect until it started.

Was this a problem with these?
