First off. I bought one of those $20 blowers from Costco. It is loud as hell but it works great for drying the car and getting water out of all the places it hides. It comes with a bunch of different size nozzles .
Second: Do they not QA/QC the underside of the hoods on these cars?
The NCRS and Bloomington Gold judges will consider this to be 'typical factory production' a few years down the road when you or subsequent owners submit the car to scrutiny. I agree trying to get it resprayed would probably cause more problems than it's worth. It should be finished better, I agree, but most of us have accepted the fact these cars will always have imperfections like this and just live with it.
Thanks. It's ways nice when some one reminds us to have low expectations and think less of our cars.
Its funny this is my first Chevy.. But on all the other forums I have been on everyone seems to think their car has the cheapest paint job. Honda, Subaru, Hyundai, Toyota, BMW, Ford, etc.
Not saying the OP's paint job is okay and to suck it up, but it seems like paint is one area that almost every automotive manufacturer struggles with.
I would rather pay a good paint/body man to do the job right than risk having the dealers paint shop screwing something up. Trust me I know from letting the dealer do some touch up work on the wife's Mustang.
Add me to the list of those that would live with that. It's a very minor blemish in an out of the way place, I wouldn't roll the dice on having them touch it up.
I would leave it be. It's under the hood so you'll never see it. Have gm repaint it and you'll have paint work on the carfax. Which may or may not effect your trade in / resale value. Also who knows if they will do a good job. I would leave well enough alone.
