I haven't noticed it on mine. But I can definitely see it on yours.

Touch up suggestion. If the chip, scrape, etc. is large, I will airbrush it out or use a mini hvlp spray gun. If its just a small chip, go to a hobby store and buy micro btushes. Yhey come in different sizes but work much better than any bush. Buy all sizes to match the size of the chip. I like the smallest. I use Dupont paint and if I use a brush, I don't reduce it. I also dont use activator.

When you buy the paint be sure you ask if there are any alternates on this color. Colors can vary from factory to factory even if the paint has the same name. If there are, have the guy who actually mixes the maint bring his color chart out to the car. It has color chips with ovals cut out so you can trally see which alternate to buy.

For those with metallic paint that you are goining to spray, carefully read the reducing instructions or else the metallic part will make the whole color look wrong due to it not reflecting correctly. Its a matter of how the metallic compone
Nt lays down on the surface.
