It goes back farther than that. Porsche started clear coating their 
metallics in 1969 and it was common to see 911s and 914s after a year or so 
with 
clearcoat turned white and cracking on the horizonatal surfaces which could be 
75% of the total. I doubt that Porsche paid anything since most failures 
back then were always "customer abuse." BDTD.
