crappy clear coat and paint

Well I have had my ss/sc for almost a month now, have done little to no highway driving, and already have rock chips. Also, I have a spot on my hood, about 3 inches around, where the clear coat has somehow messed up...you can see it in the sunlight. Am I the only one experiencing this?

Do our cars some with some kind of paint/clear coat warranty? Because this is effin ridiculous...

I have a 17 inch streak under my clearcoat on my hood that has been there since day 1. I also have two small rock chips on my hood.

I am debating taking it in for paint warranty

If you have had it less than 1 month it sure is worth a try. If they determine that there is a defect in the clearcoat they SHOULD cover it. Good luck.

3 year or 36,000 mile (60,000 kms) warranty bumper-to-bumper. Paint defects are part of the regular warranty.
