The body panels are coated with zinc if manufactured by Pribbs. Ford Motor Company had the same issues with their cars back in the 80's.
The problem is an incompatibility of the zinc coating and the crappy Mil-Prf-53022 or Mil-Prf-53030 primer.
My M101A3 made by Pribbs has the same problem.
I haven't been motivated enough to sand off the remains and recoat using a good chromated primer, but its on the "To Do" list.
