I don't have the thousands of dollars to repaint the car, and if I did it would show up on carfax and the car would be worth thousands less on top of that. My little brother who paints cars in a tent in his friends driveway has much better looking paint than my car.
Sorry to hear that OP! I would be pissed off too!

I just cannot believe you did not catch this when you first looked at the car. Did you purchase the car at night? dim light conditions? These dealers really do a great job a concealing cosmetic deficiencies to make the car look practially brand new. However these are only meant to keep the car looking new for a few months after purchase.

I remember my personal expirience when I purchased a used CLK 350. it was blue with the really light tan leather. When I looked at the car from the dealer it looked BRAND NEW! the leather looked absolutely amazing. come to find out several months after there was some sort of spray on paint that masked the leather wrinkles that were pretty bad in some parts. It was only through continued seating and usage that the spray paint wore off and I noticed this. I said to my self this would be the last time I would ever buy a used car again.
