It's actually better than from the factory. It took about a week of work having the paint corrected. My detailer did a great job. Here are some before and after photos:

Rear Decklid has a fair amount of wet sand marks/buffer trails.

Rear quarter after factory film removal. Very clear wet sand marks before correction:

Looks brilliant. Are you going to replace the helicopter tape on the arches now, or leave them exposed?

The front bumper, full bonnet, front fenders, A pillars and rear fender flares were covered with Venture Shield back in November right after the paint correction.

Yes, the state of the clearcoat when the cars leave the factory is pretty awful. But this seems to be the case with other exotics as well, such as Ferrari. I'm not sure why this allowed to happen!

Well worth the effort

Great car
Color is just superb
Speaking to an AM dealer in Paris and he said this colour would get the car to depreciate much less than other ones

Both cars are looking mighty fine. Congrats.

Dr. G., what is involved in the term "paint correction"?
