The paint scratches easily. Additionally, I have reason to believe that the paint is defective, because there are small areas of the paint, especially on the hood, that has small cracks. The service center says it's from something acidic, such as bird droppings or sap. Since I didn't pay extra for the "Elite paint package" it isn't covered under warranty. I don't think that it's right to pay for the layer of protection that should be on in the first place. Nor do I believe it's bird droppings or tree sap. I strongly believe that the paint is defective.
