Very Thin Paint?

Are they doing it "under warranty" ? Please please please say yes.

Yes. The repair guy said he understands that when somebody pays this much for a car, they have a right to quality. My paint issue was strange. On the driver's side rear quarter was about a 6" x 6" area that had little white specks in the black paint. It was under the clear coat and you couldn't feel anything. He didn't know what it was, but they couldn't buff it out so they are repainting it now. Sorry I don't have any pictures. My dealer also said they had 4 pre-orders arrive on a trailer this summer and all were damaged.

Thanks. That gives me a little hope...

Had some paint peeling in from the drivers side back quarter panel where the bumper connects to the side of the car. Took it to the dealers bodyshop, and they're going to take the bumper off, sand it, and repaint it, under warranty.

well what i have done with my scion cause dumbass a holes threw a rock at mine day before a car show. i have touch up paint and white out. use a q-tip and dab the chip with the white out on the q-tip. now that will help the touch up paint stay then do the same with the touch up paint on a q-tip. just be careful and not put to much on the q-tip or it will blot.
