Anyone else get a really bad factory paint job on their TL? When I picked mine up new from the dealer, the Anthracite Metallic looked all splotchy and mottled. You really can't notice it all that much in direct sun, but on an overcast day, it will definitely make you look twice. No chipping or peeling yet though, thank God...

according to other threads on this site, it is due to the change in the type of paint that goes on our cars and others as well, i believe it's a water based paint now.
