I looked hard but really didn't see anything, weird. I found this touch up stuff on amazon I may try, has anyone heard of it? Gonna go to sears tomorrow and see what happens. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IYZ0IZU?cache=ab0f992bac7f4359590f64a52512aee1&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1413345354&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1

I had Sears install 4 tires a couple of weeks ago, they damaged all 4 rims in the process. I attached 3 pictures all of 1 wheel which got it the worst. Scratches, paint chips, and abrasions. It's very, very frustrating because I've yet to own a car where this didn't happen when I go in to get...

In light of the following article: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-expert-featuring-mike-phillips/46767-i-think-my-brand-new-car-repainted-factory.html I would recommend having them pull the car into the sunlight and you taking a very long look at the paint and panels to make sure...

I understand, but it appears the panel is getting worse with time. I've gone back and forth on this because I really don't know what to expect, both with the current panel deteriorating and the potential problems with the repaint. Based on all of the responses here, it seems the repaint is...

If you look between the mirror and door handle on that car, you can see the hue changes slightly from dark to light, very similar to my door. It is not as obvious, but I can still see some stripes.

I am skeptical the car was manually painted vs. a robot, only because this car is not mine and I can see the same unevenness in this car's door, too. Wouldn't it be totally unusual if both cars had their door repainted in the same manner?

Thanks, David. My only concern about the paint is the tiger striping effect. I think others mentioned earlier in the thread that the quarter panel didn't match the door, but I have not personally noticed this to be a problem upon further inspection. Either way, the TSB is nice information to...

Dumb question, but does anyone think a hefty polishing could effect the stripes? It seems like the problem is in the PAINT and not the clear coat, and of course i have no intentions of polishing through the clear coat to get to the paint. Worth asking though, sure would be a heck of a lot...

Over the night (possibly in my sleep) I thought of a few other options: 1. This suggestion is a stretch, but do you think the dealer would just pop a door off of another Camaro on the lot (unsold) and put it on my car? Then they can repaint the unsold car and go through the whole "if the...

That isn't a terrible idea. But, then the question would be how likely is it that the door would match the color on the car now. I mean in theory, if they are both being sprayed by the same machine, they should be the same...but, that's only theory. If that works, I like that the best of my...

What other remedy is there? I have contacted customer service, they said go to your dealer. They weren't very helpful. I read that, but only a few people responded and only a few thought it was a repaint. The fact that the car is dirty has nothing to do with it though, I can assure you. It...

The dealer already said they would warranty it if I wanted them to. So it would be free of charge to make it look right. However, there is no telling that they could fix it or make it look better. I might just have them repaint it only to make it look worse. The question is how much do I...

Thank you. It is good to know that a) I'm not the only Camaro with this problem, and b) again, that others think the black metallic matching process would be horrible and likely not perfect. I know B has been said a few times, but it's reassuring to hear it from others. After all, I'm really...

Well, knowing the paint is defective (vs. just flawed), I was curious if opinions about repainting would change. I guess everyone still believes I need to live with this regardless of why the paint isn't perfect.

Quick little update: I finally spoke to my dealership and the salesman confirmed there was nothing showing on the VIN for a repaint anywhere in the order/delivery process. He did say however that they have had a lot of paint problems come out of the factory that produced my particular car, so...

It seems like the consensus is that there isn't actually a problem here. At lunch I went back to the same dealership I was at yesterday and looked at another 45th Camaro. There was sunlight out today so I asked a salesman to pull it into the sun, so that I could see the reflection off of the...

Yes, it does. And no rough edges, either. But why would some cars just like mine not have this "problem?"

Thanks, that is refreshing to know. I hope that others with knowledge of PTG readings chime in with the same information. I guess if the PTG shows no repaint has been done, what am I fixing?

Thanks, Rick. I actually have previously polished it with a PC and added an LSP, and even after that I noticed the inconsistent paint. But if the PTG readings don't really point to any malpractice, then it has to be as "normal" as "normal" gets, huh?

Well, finally some news everyone has been curious about. I went to a dealership close to my home after work today, but not the dealership that I bought my car at (much further away, haven't had the time to do that just yet). They had a PTG and so I have some results, although unfortunately...
