I ordered a 2014 Arctic White Vette in April 2014. The fit and finish was virtually perfect in my opinion. The panel gaps could not have been better. The paint was very good in my opinion. I had to look really hard in certain lighting conditions and angles to notice any orange peel. I was 100% satisfied with fit, finish, and paint quality.
I sold that Vette in May of this year when I had a 2019 Watkins Glen Gray Grand Sport delivered. Although the colors between the two Vettes are totally different. the paint finish on the 2019 appeared to have more depth than the 2014. Again, under certain lighting conditions and certain angles, I can see a minimal amount of orange peel. I am 100% satisfied with the quality of the paint on the 2019.
However, the panel gaps on the 2014 were better than on the 2019. The panel gaps on the 2019 could be better.
