Lets assume the car in question is very low miles and pretty much concours with the exception of a couple of small clearcoat issues (inch in diameter max) on the hood and one door which seem common on the 78-89 911's. It is also a rare color with great options.

If the two panels in question were just recently clearcoated with the actual original paint underneath remaining is it ethical for the dealer to say the car has 100% original paint?

If not then would the car be drastically de-valued due to not having 100% original paint? The car in question is priced at the very very top of the current 3.2 market.

Thanks for any contructive input. As an fyi the dealer disclosed the clearcoat and I don't think without his disclosure anyone would know. I for sure can't tell other even with the panel open and looking underneath other than seeing the before photo.
