My paint is peeling on the hood right beside the silver accent cover. ---

Tried covering it but it spreads. I’ve seen several other Terrain in the same range with the same issue. ---

It’s not just Terrains. Everything in the inventory make from A to Z can suffer from peeling paint, clear coat, etc. ---

It seems a lot more common with white vehicles. If you try to spray paint it yourself, clean well, may isopropyl alcohol, then punch a small hole in some paper or cardboard to spray the spot a little at a time to prevent overspray Masking tape on anything not white nearby. ---

I haven’t found anything that works to keep it from spreading. Chevy/GMC had several years where their paint jobs (particularly white,) are crap, and start peeling off after several years. I have a 2001 Chevy van, and a 2010 Chevy van that are peeling like crazy. ---

Paint appearance will stay better longer if the vehicle is parked out of direct sunlight as much as possible, the surface is kept clean by a least a hosing off once a week, and the surface is thoroughly washed and waxed a couple time a year. If OP is doing all that already, not much else can be done other than just living with it, and hiring a paint shop to repair the faulty areas from time to time. That particular spot looks like it might get a lot of wind rushing around that area, and may be why the paint is peeling there and not elsewhere.
