My car was not hit; there was a "defect" in the paint on the hood or when it was manufactured; they tried to fix it and did a bad job. If my car was hit after I bought it, then yes, it would be unfortunate. I don't feel there is any difference with defective paint than a defective engine, or any other part of a new car. They should discount the car since it is not in "new" condition when purchased new. It's going in again next week (2nd time this month) for the noise and I have told them I don't want it back until it is fixed. Let's see how that goes. If I get it back and it is still making the noise, I'm going to have it looked at elsewhere and then possibly pursue the Lemon Law.

I was using an unfortunate collision in comparison...yes it sucks, but it happens, gets fixed at a shop and you now have a repaired vehicle.. Acceptable repairs, by law, are repainting at a body shop.
Some cars come out of the factory with blemishes, are damaged in transportation to the dealer or catch dings on the dealer's lot. A dealer does not have to disclose this repair, up to a certain amount ($2,000 in most states) and can, by law, sell the car as new.

I understand that they are allowed to do repairs to cars up to a specific dollar figure without disclosing it. I have had cars painted in the past, but have never had so many paint lifts (or whatever you'd call them). I guess I'll take it to another body shop other than the one that painted it and see what they think. At the rate it is going, the hood of this car will look like crap in another year!
