1997 XJ6L Delamination/Peeling

My aunt owns a 1997 Jaguar XJ6L which had been in beautiful condition. She recently sent the car in for detailing and servicing and the car came back with severe damage to the exterior paint; severe peeling and delamination all over the car. Her insurance agent said that he recalled that this was a problem with a number of 1990s-model Jaguars. Is anyone familiar with this being the case and other examples of this? Many thanks in advance for any information about this.

If it's the OEM paint it sounds like an E-Coat problem where the paint lifts off the primer. This began to happen as auto manufacturers transitioned from solvent to water based paints. If it is a repaint this could be due to an inferior aftermarket prep and paint job....JMO....Please post some photos if possible...
