I have a 1989 dodge spirit (white in color). About 3 or 4 months ago it started peeling paint off of it. I was driving down the rode when i heard this weird ripping noise. I looked in the rearview mirror to see white flakes flying off of my car, so i pulled off in a parking spot & got out to see what was happening & all i saw was a large spot on the roof of my car where paint came off. It has continued to do so ever since.
