Dealer Used TOUCH UP PAINT ON MY CAR!!!

I had picked up my carbon grey tsx yesterday evening and this evening when i was taking a look at da car, I noticed that there was touch up paint above the front wheel on the driver's side. It's about 1 to 2 inches long, and it pissed me off cuz it's a brand new car. When I go complain to my dealer, what should I ask of them to do? I would really appreciate your guys advice. Thanks.

This is unacceptable. You should post the name of the dealer here, so other people can avoid them.

First of all, make absolutely sure its touch up paint. Some times they leave behind some plastic wrapping, and depending on the color of your car it can actually look like a scratch or touch up paint. But if you scratch it with your nail it will come right off.

I wouldn't post the dealer's name until after you talked with them about it. They might have a simple fix.

It's totally unacceptable for touch-up paint to be so obviously visible. They should have experts on hand to do it correctly, but maybe that "detail" person was out, extremely busy, or simply slipped. But I do recommend getting the dealer a chance to see it and resolve it first.
