What's the deal with peeling paint?

[jingles]

In my lengthy pre-purchase research, one of the things that's turned me away from the Honda Fit is that many owners complain of the factory paint being very thing and starting to peel after several years. Since my most important factor in my final decision is going to be long-term durability, that's leaving me less than impressed--especially when it sounds like the powertrain will easily last a long time. But while I've been hoping to pick up a Blazing Blue Yaris, I've noticed recently that a lot of people claim that the blue paint peels really easily--I even saw some photos on here of a Yaris's clear coat on the roof peeling like sunburnt skin. Is this some anomaly that could happen with any color given the right conditions, or should I think about getting a different color? Is it perhaps an issue that's been fixed for the third generation?
