Staying on topic, I think that this issue is fairly common for 2013's and early 14's. It shows up pretty quickly at seam areas and is a result of insufficient prep work. The good news is once it is repaired, I know of no one that has had it reoccur. Mine is still going strong. Arguing if Precision is good or bad is pointless since they are no longer doing the Entegra painting.

I wish I had taken pictures and measured where Precision had fixed the 2 spots last spring so I would have known if it has come back in those spots. Bang head.... My problem is in the hands of Precision as of yesterday so we will see what happens. I will post the results.

Thank you! for the positive and very helpful comment Gary. Those were the kind of answers I was looking for. Mine went from one small spot to two large areas after being parked in the sun for a week. Before it had always been in covered parking. I had a feeling what had happened, but needed to know from those that have been there, if there were any. Thank you for your help and being able to intelligently answer the OP.
I am going to continue to let mine "flash" in the sun and correct it when it is finished.

Me too. Mine is not really noticeable (except to me, and even then, I didn't notice it at the time of pickup). I will address it in the spring - hopefully all of the congenital defects will have surfaced by then.

My 14 Anthem had the same problem. When I was at Middlebury 2 weeks ago, Joyce told me that they were doing 90% of the painting. My 15 cornerstone is being painted by Entegra as we speak....

Precision Paint Question
Our coach is doing the same. AFTER being repaired at our PDI during the great freeze of 2013-2014. We are also having fiberglass cracking issues along the rear cap. Going back to a body shop at Richardsons in Murrieta, CA later this month. We have a 2013 Cornerstone. As always Entegra CS is by our side. Glad we have a coach builder like this who stands behind their product.

Let's not be too overjoyed until we see the quality of the product. It all depends on who they hired. Just saying.

From experience with the previous company, three times, anything could be an improvement. Just saying.

Do you know where your coach was painted? Entegra or Precision! If you are not sure, you can call Heather Wirth or Joyce.

Could it be the sealant Entegra is using in these seams that is causing the paint to lift at these seam locations.
If paint cracks moisture getting behind the paint will only cause further problems.
Is every owner experiencing the same problem or just certain year owners?

After Precision had my coach back for an almost repaint, I have this problem starting and it seems to be spreading. This is on both sides of the MH so it is not just one area. Thanks for any input.

Looks familiar.

Silicon is a PITA to paint period in the body shop I worked in years ago we would not paint over it til it had cured for several weeks. The reason is to prevent this issue the silicon continues to cure and gas under the paint causing bubbles. There is no prep that fixes this it is a time issue until the silicon is fully cured it will happen. Also the silicon or sealant can stretch and flex under the paint which causes it to break loose from the paint. The increase in demand has caused them to speed up production which means they get to paint much faster and out of paint much faster so no time for the sealants to cure before paint is applied. If you have a new coach do not rush to get these fixed wait it out make notes and get them noted by CS and authorized for repair but take your time let the coach finish curing before you jump on the fix me now bandwagon. I tell every customer to give the paint 6 months before they have it fixed this lets all of the issues pop up and it can go in one time and have them all fixed at once. You own a really great product with a great CS and support system let them do their jobs.

Sounds like good advice. I was thinking that near the edges of the painted surfaces it had contaminants when they painted. I hadn't thought of the silicone off gassing. That silicone is everywhere.
