That said, this situation is a shame. My sisters car was 20 years old. The Honda probably cost well over $30k.
That was an issue for just about every metallic paint on the planet back then as well. New regs and a change in the formula resulted in a lot of paint peeling off cars. Some just with a pressure hose washing them.
