Paint issue with my newly purchased 996tt....
#31
I will add to the chorus- there are considerable waves in the factory paint. Funny ripples around the door handle where they press/punch the handle opening. Kind of stuff you will not see until your are doing a detail/paint correction and staring at clearcoat surface reflections for 8 hours

looks like my car and every other 996 when exposed to that angle and light reflection.it also has alot to do with the way the door is contoured......if you look closely the door flares out at the bottom to meet the rocker and out at the edge to meet the rear quarters.What would bother me more is the all the polish in the cracks and crevices.....time to start removing that stuff.Ithink you are ok on the paint work and the car was not painted.

I know the bottom has a curve to it so I was not reference that point.
The first pictures makes it look like there is a lot of polish build up, but I can assure you there is nothing.
I took that picture with a high ISO and longer exposure to get the reflection to really show up. Guess that made the rubber trim appear lighter than they really are in person.
And to tell you guys the truth, the 2nd picture does not really capture the waviness as much as seeing it in person.

I emailed the GM of the dealership, as he was who I directly dealt with when I purchased the car. He said he'll take a look at the paint.
I'll keep you guys posted.
