The ridiculously thin paint coat on this and many other new cars is well documented in this forum and I unfortunately have proof of that in my garage. If you simply look at the paint for too long, the light bouncing back out from your retinas will scratch the paint and you'll see the metal.

I was expecting a totaled car.. That sucks OP. But it can be repaired.

Looks better than original from here. Get those stripes painted on while you're at it.

Sucks you have to go through all this quimbo. So far the paint looks great. I hope it turns out at least, if not better than it was before the glass blasting.
