For instance, the local Maserati dealership has an Alfa 8C that came from the factory with a hand print under the clearcoat.

I think that would be pretty cool.

I mean...if you repaint a part at a backstreet garage and you get a crappy paint it`s no suprise...but with Ferrari?

You'd be surprised just how bad the paint job is on a Ferrari. I can point out all the places that there's crappy paint on my Scuderia. Good thing it's not immediately obvious.

wow...now this is suprising.

I only heard stuff like that about the older Ferraris and only concerning the workmanship on the interior....
So since nobody is complaing I assume this simply is part of the whole F-car athmosphere and experience?

@ECB Yup' it's all apart of the f car experience. The p car experience is sending your car back to the dealer because your couch matched leather didn't have all of the same cofee stains.

Well I know there's that guy over in england who does detailing jobs that costs upwards of 5k pounds.
I watched a video on him, and it's pretty amazing how crappy some factory paint is, especially on expensive cars.

If I bought any supercar, I'd take it straight there to have the paint made perfect.
