I have gone through some fenders in the front and one decent dent and you can peel the paint of in sheet like 4-5" sheets. The OEM pearl white on my car is a nightmare but i have heard good things about the white they run on the new is350s. I guess they can spray it thinner or something.

The color of the paint has nothing to do with its ability to withstand teh elements. Its the product used, and making sure the mixes are SPOT on. If youre peeling your paint off in sheets, the car was not prepped correctly, period. And yes it is exepensive, any pearl is. The real drawback to pearl white is if you get in a fender bender down the road and trying to match the paint. One of the hardest colors to do…
