guys what can you say about the quality of the paint job on the new corvette ? A friend of mine looked at one in the show room last week SMP in Saskatoon, $130K car . He said it was terrible and told the salesman it looked like a 67 3 ton truck , rough and very orange peeled. Are they all like that these days ? I haven't seen it.
 
Hey Michael. I wouldn't call mine rough, or looking like a 67 3 ton either, but on the same token, it is not a West Coast Customs show finish either. I would say it's comparable to the paint that my 09 C6 had. I looked the car over pretty well before I took delivery and found one little raised piece of dust under the paint which they fixed. Since then, I have noticed one small area on the lower front just beside the grill that looked like orange peel but I'm not sure now as since then I think it could be be a slight imperfection in the xpel application that I missed... I will be interested though to hear input from some of the other members.....
 
Quality is a word of the past. Capitalism and the almighty dollar has changed the word to Quantity. Make 'em as fast as you can, get 'em out the door as fast as you can, and count the money.
 
For love of the old days.
