there are tiny flecks of what appears to be chips imbedded in the clear coat. dealer says that the clear would be taken down so far that there would be swirls and thats the final stage and condition that it would be in.it feels like they dont want to do it right and repaint.what do you think?

Contact the manufacturer. In your manual, usually at the back, you'll find a toll free number for customer service.

I think you got a bad paint job from the factory -- or possibly a vehicle that was damaged in shipment and poorly repaired. The guy with the "quilt" paint job almost certainly had a damaged shipper. The dealer needs to put that right -- paint on a new vehicle should be virtually perfect. Some very slight "orange peel" effect is common on all but the most expensive cars but it should be nearly undetectable.

If the truck is extremely new, then there could be a comfortable omit-tournament between the two. If the truck is 4 or 5 or extra years previous ( +/- ), then the producing unit paint has probable began to vanish somewhat. So, end effect, that is as much as you. a sturdy keep can 'fade' the recent paint in so as that the tournament is rather darn close. yet, if that could be a clean truck & you like it acceptable notch, then production unit is a thank you to head.

sounds like rail dust to me. when a vehicle is shipped via rail, the friction of the wheels on the track creates tiny particles of "hot dust" these particles melt into the clear coat causing a flawed finish. this can be corrected by wet sanding the entire vehicle with 1500 grit sand paper, then buffing the vehicle. then the vehicle is buffed with a swirl remover. this is not as easy as it may seem (leaving no swirls) a job like this could take several days, but it is done all the time. this should be covered under warranty if you recently purchased the vehicle!

there shouldnt be any swirls in a factory paint job. the clear should have been smooth as glass. if you had this done at a shop then they didnt sand the clear or didnt sand it with the proper grit

Sounds like some crap to me. A new truck should have PERFECT paint. If not, then they need to remedy that. Do not take no for an answer.
