Paint or paint application defects are covered but paint damage (chips) is not.
I've had two cars repainted under warranty.
One was a 1977 Honda Civic Wagon (Green) that developed spider-webbing in the paint right at the end of the warranty. The manufacturers rep said, no problem and they stripped/painted the entire car. I was particularly impressed since I did not buy the car new and it was literally within a few hundred miles of the end of the warranty.
Second was a 1989 Chevy Astro (White we called it the Milk Wagon). The paint started peeling off the roof (not chips but long streaks) at about 50,000 miles. Again, they resprayed the entire van, looked better than new and still looked that way at 250,000 miles when I got rid of it.
My FR-S is peppered (or should I say salted since they are white) with paint chips in the front after almost 60,000 miles, probably worse than any other car I've ever owned. Nearly all the chips are in the hood, little white specs that drive me nuts. At some point I'll probably have the hood resprayed, if not the entire car. In the interim, I guess I need to get a touchup.
My red MK1 MR2 was basically pink after 165,000 miles in the Florida sun but had zero paint chips.
