I think I have figured out the Gun Metallic paint issue at least this is what I was told by the head manager of the Service department. He said he has seen this before. He was explaining to me that when the PGF(paint guard film-white stickers on new car) is ripped off in the wrong temperature meaning excessive heat, the PGF sticks to some paint and and the paint re-adheres as normal paint but in a discolored manner and damage is under the clear coat. I was told something along those lines but it makes sense for my car at least. The car was here in NY in the scorching hot months of July and August and was at a couple dealers before I bought it.
So maybe the PGF was ripped off in the hot temps? Idk because it was at other dealers. Anyways, apparently he told me that this damage could be heated out of paint which they may attempt than rather paint the whole thing.
