Paint fading WTF
Paint fading WTF
So the other day I noticed brown spots, as if brown spray paint was applied to the car under the the trunk. Though I thought that was pretty cheap of GM/CHEVY to do; I really didn't care since it was under the trunk.
After a quick walk around, I noticed that on the hood of my car, these paint imperfections (brown spots) were beginning to appear in the creaveses on the sides of the hood. Once again, not noticable until closely inspected.
So wtf, $24,000 and I get a shitty paint job? As you all may know, and can see from my pictures. I take extremely good care of my paint, using products that contain no abraisives WHAT SO EVER. Not to be hypocritical, the pictures below, though contain water spots... unfortunately black cars only stay black for a day or two after wash
Any input on this guys? The dealership is gonna hear from me pretty soon... I want this fixed pronto.

Don't get me wrong, this car is a blast to own. I just can't stand see to how much hard work, and countless hours detailing it go to **** all because of a poor paint job.
well, your right, in that the paint certainly shouldn't be fading and having discoloration, especially within the first couple years of ownership!!
What i was refering to was the quality of the actual paint job, such as orange peel and etc..
