Default How does the factory paint warranty work?

I know that the factory paint is warrantied for like 10 years/unlimited miles, but what exactly does this mean? My rear bumper (original paint) is spiderwebbing on the corners. It's not terrible, but I'm afraid it will get worse. Is that covered?

I think its paint and corrosion, and you'd have to have rust through the metal. You could try the dealership, but I doubt they'll do much for a four year old S2000.

I agree. Plus the coverage is mainly for defects in the paint itself which would cause premature corrosion.

I was able to find this...
