[QUOTE=kiteman;4159414]so can you see that "tan" appearance on the outermost paint, or is it just in the edges and grooves where you notice it?

I notice it on edges of the panels but not on the exterior panels, like your door. For example, I had the car at a show and had the hood open on a very sunny day and noticed the edge of the hood, which would normally be below the fender line, had this tan appearance. The radiator support panel has it as well. And I can see it if I look between the passenger door and fender, where the door hinges are. I brought it to a service writers attention but got "that's the way they are supposed to be". I don't necessarily agree but I'm not sure if its worth the effort. I guess its sort of like the engine compartment or trunk jams not having that shine, almost like its lacking clear coat. I guess they just don't put too much effort into those surfaces, but this paint seems to require it. I would definitely like to see if others suffer the same issue.
