Hummer H2 For those who like a little more gleam to their Hummer, the H2 offers a similar rugged look as the H1, but as a lower cost, and with more added features, making it almost a massive luxury SUV.

Is paint peeling on hoods normal on H2s?

I've only been interested in H2's for a few years so fairly new to it but do pay attention now and have not seen this on other H2"s

Hell no. Either something hit the hood of that HUMMER to cause the paint to peel like that over time or a huge lack of washing and waxing the vehicle, or a combination of what I just said.

looks to be a bad sealing job on a repaint. Possibly due to front end damge.
Look that frame and everything up front over very carefully.

Heat doesn't just cause that. That's either a factory defect, or that hoods been poorly painted. Someone didn't prep or used the wrong primer. Id go with someone has painted it considering it looks like it hasn't started peeling until recently. Edit: You can actually see the bondo hack job in the top pic.

My H2 is pealing like that on top in front of the sunroof. also top of one of the doors. the hood is just fading. seems it's time to start looking for a paint job. but i am leaning towards line-x over the roof.

Looks like a low quality repaint. I've seen that over the years, usually 2 or 3 years after a Maaco economy paint job. Pressure washer or drive through car wash usually does this on those cheap paint jobs.
