In line with Markmass's question- touch up paint can look flawless-but that is not the worry. If you are "Touching Up" the paint, it means you did NOT replace the defective parts that caused the problem in the first place?

Yes, they touched up....did not replace the panel. They did mention shimming the joint slightly so the fender and fascia would not rub. They were not sure if it was caused by too tight of a joint, or due to the factory smacking the upper lip of fascia against the lower lip of fender when assembling the car.
The part was not defective...two parts rubbed together and the paint wrinkled a bit.

I will be watching mine like a hawk!

No rust possible...the fascia is plastic.
