Anyone heard of such a problem with Elements? My '04 paint is in terrific shape (thank you, Zaino!)

Q:I am the original owner of a 2004 Honda Accord. The car has been maintained in accordance with factory requirements, garaged and never wrecked. Recently, the paint has become dull, splotchy and mottled in a number of areas. The local Honda dealer diagnosed the problem as clear-coat delaminating. They have indicated the entire car will need to be repainted to correct the problem and to prevent rusting.
I was wondering if you have heard of any other owners of 2004 Accords with similar paint issues.
A: Honda owners have been buzzing about paint problems for several years. I have seen several five- or six-year-old Hondas on which the clear coat is peeling or discolored, though many other cars have similar issues.
Repainting is the best way I know of to fix the problem, and getting that job done well can cost a few thousand dollars.
This kind of paint malady was common two or three decades ago, when clear-coat technology was newer.
