For all the horror stories I've heard regarding paint, I have to say I'm very pleased with the paint job on my 2020 2SS in Shadow Gray Metallic... I grew up working in my Dad's Body Shop and worked with a lot of paint and buffing, etc so I am rather picky... Maybe I got lucky, my car was built mid-Dec 2019 so maybe everyone was in a good mood with the holidays coming up and did a good job!

I've heard the clear is very thin, I would have happily paid an option for $500-$1000 for multiple extra coats of clear coat, but alas that wasn't an option...

Granted, mine is a garage queen (non-daily driver), so it is holding up extremely well (and it is ceramic coated) but it does have 9,000 miles on it, so it has seen some use...
