Default crappy 1997 paint???

ok so ive come to the conclusion that the paint on my car is probably the most brittle paint i have ever seen on a vehicle ever. Ive got the 97 GT in the purple color and ever since i have owned it it doesnt take much for the paint to get scratched, in a matter of fact i was hanging with my friend today and he accidentally hit the rear passenger side quarter panel with the zipper on his coat and guess what it took a nice little chunk out of the paint. So the reason that i am posting this is that i am wondering if anyone else has experienced problems with the paint on their mustang or if i am just one of the unlucky ones with a unlucky paint job. any response will be helpful thank you

wow every mustang my dad's had in the past 20 years has held up amazingly well. All his foxes, his 95 GT.... all looked or still look top notch. my 2000 is amazingly good for 10 year old paint. There is light swirls and chips from be a driven car but nothing like what your discribing.
