They won't cover a paint defect because basically it's too expensive, that's kind of the feeling I got from the dealership's service manager. ONLY BUY A CAR FROM MITSUBISHI IF YOU ARE GOING TO RACE IT! They void warranties, don't cover defects, and generally are not standing behind their products. I love my car, don't get me wrong, but to be treated like this is insane.

2. what do you really think would be the solution, just assuming for a second that MMNA decided to do something about your paint?
--that's right, they'd buff and polish. you aren't getting new paint sprayed no matter what, so forget about that idea.

you'll get more of that later on, especially if you got the RS, a track purpose built car.

That's ridiculous.......if only these people could realize the amount of business they are losing just from word of mouth. It works both ways. if they would have fixed your issue there's a chance you would have told a friend how nice they were to you and he'd possibly consider a mistu....
