Last week I purchased a Hyundai ix35 from a Hyundai dealership. This weekend when giving it its first wash I noticed the area above the drivers door handle lots of small imperfections and bubbles in the paint and very small chips. When the sun came out I noticed that this part of the door was ever so slightly a different shade of silver to the rest of the panel. To me this is a re-spray and not a very good one no sign of it being blended across the panel or decent use of a spray gun.

Obviously, this is not the kind of fine toothcomb inspection you could give the entire car at the dealership so I hadn't spotted it. The car had only done 150miles and we were told it was an ex demo model and was essentially a new car!! We weren't expecting to see any damage on it but gave it a pretty good once over at the dealership but didn't get upclose and personal with every squre inch.

Have we a leg to stand on with the dealership? Should this badly done paint job have been declared to us as potentially it will affect the warranty on the paintwork?
