I never had a new car that didn’t suffer some sort of paint damage within the first 3,000 miles of daily driving including bird droppings, road kick ups….used cars did better, lasted a bit longer. Big city driving has its hazards.
I couldn’t justify paying big for a compete respray on a car that I paid big for. Original owners or cheap projects could be candidates.
The 911 came back from the shop with two well hidden, ‘never noticed before’ dings on the original paint.
Tip: Before taking car to the shop, highlight the existing dings with blue tape and snap a photo. leave tape on the car for the shop to see and verify existing damage. Don’t allow any car washing or removing the blue tape and re-check car before leaving the shop.
