    Oh boy, do I remember these types of paint coming from Maranello!



    I worked with a very talented Italian craftsman at a dealership long ago and I can attest to the poor paint quality being delivered. At least this individual can make a diamond from coal. One cars finish looked like a piano when it was done. This is before foam pads, and todays polishes.



    Another reason why I choose Porsche, soft as the paint may be, you`re not going to see faults like this! I did see my car when it came from boat and it was damn near perfect, just dust and some light dirt.



    Anyway, this is just a shame, but then again, at least you have the opportunity to make it right!



    Just be VERY careful with those ceramic brakes. Very easy to damage them if you do not use "wheek hangers" when putting the wheels back on. Simply put, long bolts that screw into the hat of the rotor so you can glide the wheel on straight, then attatch the studs on open wheel stud openings to make sure it goes on true. Without that you run the risk of dinging these!



    Hopefully, you`ll have enough time to go through the whole car, inside, outside, under it etc and make it right.



    Good luck in restoration and we hope you get some shots when it`s done.



    Maybe you can make arrangements with the dealer to take over the prep of these as they come in.



    We wait for your pics when this is fully done.

    I am not surprised!



    It`s a Ferrari, and Ferrari knows that even if it comes unpainted people would still buy them.
