Default Any AP1 owners getting paint flakes, bubbling, etc

I've had experience with paint on S2000s flaking off and bubbling and I garage and wax it so it is not abused at all.

Anyone else experience this? what is the solution to this? touch up paint? repaint panels? please advice, its driving me nuts.

P.S. if this is the wrong forum, please move it moderators, thanks

I'm talking about paint flaking and bubbling, a sort of factory defect, not paint chips or rock chips from daily driving. Hope that clarifies things.

i have a MY01, and on my front bumper (near the lights) i can see some cracking of the paint. it's not really flaking off or bubbling, but there are some slight cracking. it's not from hitting anything; it's just the paint i guess.

I've seen a few early AP1's do that, the paint developes hairline cracks on the front fenders and bumper. Probably due to stress of heat.
