I am going to take this up with the dealer so they can sort this out as this is not acceptable.
Good luck on that one Ha ha! I had bloody stone chips on mines by the time I had driven the 14 miles from the dealer home after I got mines. They won't do anything about it! The paint is within Honda's specification.

Believe it or believe it not a lot of manufactures are using Water based paints now, cheaper and better for the enviroment.

I bet when you go into the dealers well best to go to servicing or parts (they tell the truth) then they will more than likely tell you that the paint is thin and its thinner on the wings......they know, Honda know and its the way it is. Unfortunate but true
