Something sure smells like fish 'cause that most definitely looks like a repaint. I've never seen primer that looks like an exact match to Polar White.

I love being called a liar on the internet. Nope, the car has not been repainted. It's original factory paint, what's left of it, anyhow.

Not calling you a liar. I'd be suspicious of the dealer pulling a fast one. New cars have been known to have damages caused in transit repaired and not disclosed.

Interesting. Is that legal?

I just did a Google search and found this:

"I feel your pain!! I have a red 2007 Toyota Yaris and the paint on the bumper is peeling off in massive strips, my bumper is pretty much white now. I have taken it back to Toyota and they tell me it's does not have Toyota factory paint on it and the that basically I've had it re-sprayed since purchasing it brand new,which is NOT true,"

It probably won't help my case that I have some front end damage because I did hit something, but it was a fender bender and I didn't have any repairs done. I have the worst luck with cars. I bought a Toyota because I thought it would run forever, and it has been good mechanically, at least. Frustrating.
