today i took the car to another body shop-this guy said the car should be repainted-that the paint and clear coat is soft-thin. He said that no body shop can match the hardness of factory paint becase there they can bake it on with higher temps since the car is not assembled yet. His paint would be softer. So-frustrated now with all this and my car has been in a garage/under a custom car cover too-i went to the dealer. I drove to the 370Z 's and started looking at the paint-they all had hard water spots and swirls. But i did not see any bubbles. then my salesguy came out-End result>I left the car there for the boss who is flying in tomorrow so he can see it. I want at the least the whole car repainted. Better thing would be if they exchanged this car for a new one.
