I wanted to know if anyone had the same paint issue on hatch. Not sure if I will take back to dealer or not. A little tired of complaining when a $70k purchase is not right. Not understanding why GM cant get t right or just my bad luck.

Same here!

Nothing wrong with complaining when you have an issue like this... It almost looks like a bad tape job on a repair. Definitely poor quality control.

That does look bad - but I would worry about the dealer screwing up the repair and making it worse. I'd mask carefully and touch up myself.

And mine looks similar.

Every day I read here about another paint issue for Corvette. Sad, especially since I would love to own one soon.

You need to complain!! There's no excuse for that, and I'm a little shocked that quite of few others have reported similar crap on their cars.

GM will do nothing unless owners get mad. That's why this forum is so useful -- GM customer service people see this stuff here.

Mine looks just like that, and I watched the line worker go through 3 hatches before he picked the best one to go on my car.

The flat black underside finish is poorly done and has some sort of stains on it as well.

I know I will get flamed for this, but the Corvette has a proud 63 year history of really poor paint and finish quality, these cars are the best they have ever done by a fair margin.

I realize that there is a certain expectation of detail that goes with a six figure sticker price, but the level of outrage from the respondents seems to be out of proportion to the seriousness of a seam flaw in a hidden hatch jamb.

I think they should have covered the inside of the hatch with Alcantera for the 3LZ cars at least, but I am not the line manager.

Touch it up or have a bodyshop refinish the inside hatch, you will do a better job than the dealer.

another example of no QC the employee that is responcible should be fired.... oringinal paint is a big deal on vettes regarding resale value...so now ya gotta get it painted ... guess what that just cost you money down the road.. aggravation etc... if you are going to have this area re/painted you might as well tell them to fix ALL flaws orange peel etc. good luck ... GM has not changed ...should be picking mine up today of tomorrow .... lack of QC has taken the fun out of my buying experience ... I know when my car arrives there will be issues ..question is just how bad it will be ...

I'd bet you originally had my issue, missed paint, and someone touched it up very sloppily. I'll post a pic of mine shortly.

Here's mine. I'm guessing the robot hiccuped. I've never bothered having it addressed as you can't see it when closed and I figure it's probably more trouble than it's worth. Bet you had the same issue and a blind person touched it up.

There cant be more than one or two cars like this. Just doesnt seem possible.
