Does everyone have as crappy hood paint as we have? Our 1st gen Visions have flaking clearcoat and our 3rd gen ones have the color coming off completely leaving big black patches.

2nd gen ones actually seem to be pretty good but I haven't looked at all of them.

I realize the 1st gen ones are a bit old now but the C2s of the same age (without clearcoat) are just a bit more faded than the BBs so they look better overall.

They should have a 5 year paint warranty for them

Well, only the third gen would still under warranty in that case. I'll check the dates on the buses where I see that paint loss.
