I was one of the ones who got the bad White Orchid Pearl paint on my 2015 honda fit LX. I was able to get the re-paint right before the 7 year warranty was up, but they chose to only repaint the panels that were actively peeling... and then the other panels began to peel after that .
I'm mainly concerned with the hatchback door panel because it's peeling the most. But I have no idea where to shop around, or how much to expect to pay. Any advice? Los Angeles area here.

After my first look at the hatch, I would have said, $1,000+. After seeing that there are other areas, I would recommend DIY, especially on a car that old. Other than that, shop around. I'm sure there are lots of paint shops in L.A.
There was a similar problem with many American cars back in the 1990s. Manufacturers used a different technique, and the paint came off horizontal surfaces. Of course, "it wasn't their fault," and owners had to pay for painting.
Two friends have white CR-Vs, 2012 and 2018, and their paint held up find. Just lucky, I guess.
