I've had my GT for 3 weeks now and the past 2 times when I washed it I noticed that the paint looks thin on the left side of the hood. At first I thought it was a trick of the light but in the late afternoon light it looks like they didn't get enough coverage on the hood (looks kinda like when you first coat something with spray paint- uneven coverage and color). The hood and trunk lid have the same effect. Any one else have this problem? I guess they'll need to repaint it at the dealer (while they replace the fuel tank and the skipper 1000).

My trunk area as well as the shock towers under the hood have a lighter coat of paint than the body. I also noticed that some of the clear coat is missing on the left rear wheel lip. I don't have anything else that needs dealer attention, so I'm going to wait.

Oh, Forgot to mention that my car is Sonic Blue, but I think the paint problem in the trunk is across the board.

Guess I'm lucky with my Sonic blue not having that problem. I do notice that there are a few little specs of dust caught under the paint. I have never seen that in any of my other cars, including GM products!
