My IOM paint is flawless and it is a pre-order car. the only chips it has are on my front aftermarket spoiler from road debris.

I'm going to have my bumper repainted under the TSB, but I'll take it to someone I really trust to fix the orange peel.

To busy autographing pictures and thinking they're Gods from all the unwarranted praise people around here give them.

Wow dude how about you do research on how to correct paint flaws and the procedures then come back and make this gripe. There is NOTHING wrong with this, EVERY car manufacturer does this. If you go to a detail shop and ask them to repair this same flaw they will also sand down the flaw and polish it out. Oh and FYI doing so correctly doesn't remove the clear coat.

I watched the show and it looked more like a buffer than a sander to me. Nothing wrong with buffing out imperfections.

I had 4 bubbles under the clear coat. One was the size of a nail head. Luckily one was on the deck lid and 2 were on the hood so stripes fixed them right up. I got warranty work done and incorporated the stripes for only $900 more. The last bubble was on the door so basically the whole door had to be painted. I was without the car for 10 freaking days!!!!! I think this is way worst then people think. I saw a post in this thread saying it's no big deal if it's less then 1% of 120,000 cars, but I think if people look closer they will find blemishes on way more then that. I would venture to say it's closer to 3% due to the fact that I am on my second 2010 Camaro and both had minor paint issues

SUCKS!!!!
