Yeah maybe GM will learn to put out a quality product. i mean seriously, of all things to screw up, producing a paint job without orange peel is not the most difficult thing to do.

Yeah and all of the profit that they are making going 3 years of record sales should make a decent down payment no ?

Its amazing the CF panels come out pretty good and the SMC panels look like Earl Sheib gave them the $199 OP treatment.

I consider myself lucky with my vette purchases. This new white c7 has very good paint, I was surprised how good it was. My c6 in millennium yellow was also a well painted car. But I have seen the pictures of some of the other posters here and I would not have accepted the car.

Yep, 3 = Made in Mexico.

My truck also has flawless paint with no OP and it was made in Mexico too.

I think we can all agree that some cars have acceptable paint finish and some cars have horrible paint finish. This problem has been going on since 2014. I would really like to know why this has not become an "Ask Tadge" question.
