My car was built in the first month of production. There are one or 2 minor blemishes with the paint. Mainly looks like foreign matter under the paint. Maybe this is common and we're only picking up on it because we're informed anal owners?

Other then that, the paint actually looks very nice.

Crap paint compared to what? Other muscle cars? Check out what Mustang and Challenger owners have to say about their crappy paint and it should put things in perspective.

Camaro has best paint of the three.

haha, funny guy, you should read the thread and keep your sarcasm to yourself, it does not matter how much the car is driven, this thread says paint defects from the factory before we even have our Camaros to drive.

Paint Flaws

The only problem I had with paint was the scratches the dealership put on it detailing the car at delivery. They must have wiped it off with dry cloths. I was POed, but now with a couple paint chips, it's not purfect and I know it and I still win a trophy at every car show. I love my Camaro.
